Humanist Manifesto

The Manifesto is a product of many minds. It was designed to represent a developing point of view, not a new creed. The individuals whose signatures appear would, had they been writing individual statements, have stated the propositions in differing terms. The importance of the document is that more than thirty people have come to general agreement on matters of final concern and that these people are undoubtedly representative of a large number who are forging a new philosophy out of the materials of the modern world.
