What does humanism mean to you?
For many of our members, our turning point for disbelieving in our religion of Islam and its God (Allah) and becoming secular and humanist is the emergence of political Islam in Mozambique.

This version of Islam is demonic and evil and chaotic. Even Muslims are not safe, in fact Muslims are the first victim of this brand of Islam. Humanism to us means
the employment of critical reasoning, logic and secularism as the light that guides our actions and behaviour towards one another.

It encourages us to see all humans as equal irregardless of their sexes, race and tribe. It also helps us to dispel our irrational culture that is heavily influenced by
religion and this seems sane to do because Religion is the mother of all extremism and believing anything without proof is a landslide to stupidity
and folly.
