[MD] Modern American Humanism and MOQ

{AHM}*Working to benefit society maximizes individual happiness.*
[John]> You missed my point.  making social benefit my> goal, is an entirely faulty formulation.  You get my point, I'm sure.

Whether I miss or get your point, I see nothing in the AHM that suggests 
"society's benefit” rather than “individual happiness” is the goal.  
Also see Horse’s response.

When I hear “Humanism”, I don’t presuppose any particular view.
Not like “humanitarian”, which is just often someone with their hand inyour pocket.  Or like when it was fashionable to call oneself a“feminist”.  I always thought that was self-defeating.  A movement toeliminate gender-based language, gives itself a gender-based label.

I’ve been a human for as long as I can remember & that’s enough for meto call myself a “humanist”.
