Secular Humanist Manifesto

Although Humanism during the Renaissance was in many ways a step forward for Western civilization--opening up inquiry and loosening the hold of authoritarian political and religious powers in a manner which prepared the way for the Protestant Reformation, the founding of free governments, and eventually the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ--its evolution over the following centuries has also led to many of the challenges facing our modern world: moral relativism, radical secularism, and confusion about how the seed of true government is planted.  This can be discerned by reading documents like the Secular Humanist Manifesto, published in 1980.
