What's not to like?
According to the Council for Secular Humanism, within the United States, the term "secular humanism" describes a world view with the following elements and principles: [7]
- Need to test beliefs – A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted by faith.
- Reason, evidence, scientific method – A commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence and scientific method of inquiry in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions.
- Fulfillment, growth, creativity – A primary concern with fulfillment, growth and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general.
- Search for truth – A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.
- This life – A concern for this life (as opposed to an afterlife ) and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us.
- Ethics – A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility.
- Justice and fairness – an interest in securing justice and fairness in society and in eliminating discrimination and intolerance. [17]
- Building a better world – A conviction that with reason, an open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children.

lLiberal Quaker is very universalist. Very open minded. They are not fundamentalists.

Apparently I am a Secular Humanist too. I attend a Unitarian Universalist congregation. In our congregation there are atheists, pagans, some with Quaker leanings, and more. It is not enough to say you are a UU. You have to qualify what kind of UU you are. I am a Secular Humanist, non-theist UU. JW is dead last.

I didn't set out to be 0% Jehovah's Witness on the test and am a bit surprised, but can't say it is too upsetting. No wonder being one was so depressing.

I'm nitpicking but technically UU isn't a Christian denomination anymore. It started out that way though before the merging of Universalist and Unitarian. I think some who didn't appreciate the liberalness still separate themselves.
