Is the republic the best form of government?

Frankly, Secular Humanism is a watered-down version of liberal Christianity with god taken out. It’s a unique thing designed by and for White liberals.

What you both call Humanist values are just vague ideas, e.g. be nice to others, live life to the fullest, that religions have covered much better for thousands of years. Other people around the world don’t need Humanism because they have their own versions.
