What is humanism?

Question:
What is humanism?

Quote: HUUmanists Essays: "'Like most persons of this persuasion, I regard myself as a Religious Humanist not because of having been converted to a creed; a faith; not because of my having signed a membership card in a crusading fraternity of believers. The term Religious Humanism is more descriptive of a state of mind, of an attitude with respect to philosophy, religion, ethics, than it is a label for another 'ism.''
• Lester Mondale (from Religious Humanism: A Testimonial)"
