Yeah.

God is still front and center.

Christianity is still the most important thing around.

And that is this is the cradle of humanism.

And one of the frequent criticisms of modern humanism is that it's never really shaken off its birthright from Catholicism or Christianity, even though it opposes religion itself.

We'll get more into that.

But I just wanted to put that out there for the moment.

For sure.

Yeah.

But that started to change gradually around beginning in the 17th century.

One of the people we have to thank for that is Francis Bacon, known as the father of empiricism.

He also invented bacon.

And he also had a big hand into coming up with the scientific method.

Yeah, for sure.

Which has been largely abandoned by science in the last hundred years.

Yeah, and the fact that there are Christians who identify themselves as humanists and vice versa, that goes to show you that those two things are not incompatible.

You can be religious and care about human beings, and they don't have to oppose one another, although humanists have eventually said, yes, they do.

Yes.

Yeah.

Okay.
