O que é: O humanismo secular valoriza uso da razão crítica, do debate informado e da evidência pública na formação de crenças e decisões coletivas.

Como a posição entende: Autoridades devem ser questionáveis e argumentos precisam ser examinados em espaço público aberto.

Base e contexto: Essa atitude dialoga com Iluminismo, ciência moderna, educação laica e cultura democrática.

Debates e variações: Alguns autores alertam para não reduzir toda a vida humana a racionalidade técnica; o ideal continua sendo razão crítica combinada com sensibilidade ética.
