There is no God

Sorry to have to break this to you.

Spirituality

Spirituality is a personal belief system which comes from the individuals own experiences. Religion teaches a belief system created by others; not always with altruistic motives.

Spirituality come from within, religion comes from without.

Humanism

There are no valid supernatural explanations for why the world exists. Nor are any needed. Se the Affirmations of Humanism.

Existentialism

Existentialism: A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.

Ethical Egoism

Ethical Egoism: The ethical doctrine that morality has its foundations in self-interest; that personal behavior which benefits the individual is ethical if it does not harm others. There is a far reaching aspect to this which requires restraint so as to avoid disappointment and pain.
