As for your critique of humanist principles as bulky, I’ve never heard anyone claim that five basic principles is a “bulky” one. Personally I’ve never read a moral system that was spelled out in less than 100 pages. These principles are embedded in the EU and followed by all of the most democratic and prosperous countries in the world. Humanism has been endorsed by virtually all active atheist-secularists including Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennet and Harris. [By the way the Amsterdam proposal has two more principles that are not included in most others]

So what is it about human rights, rational inquiry, personal autonomy, secularism and human prosperity that you think is impractical?
