Humanism and the Afterlife
I struggle to see how humanism can be reconciled with that. For humanists, I think of all kinds, it doesn't have to be here and now. It can stretch back into a sense of also our past where we've come from and the future that we want to work towards. And certainly any kind of totalitarian society, you see it very much in the 20th century with fascism and communism, both deeply anti-humanist in their assumptions. They sort of almost act as religions in that there's a central dogma which can't be questioned. Humanist of all kinds will always find themselves at odds with that.
