🕵️ Compassionate Humanist Audit: Core Content Review
Using the text you’ve built — from the homepage, manifesto, anatomy, belonging, FAQ — this audit checks each against the central principles:
- Compassion over certainty
- Shared values over shared metaphysics
- Openness to theism, atheism, and mystery
- Action > abstraction
- Humility, non-tribalism, and truth-seeking
- No gatekeeping based on belief
✅ Homepage
Verdict: Solidly aligned. Why:
- Welcoming tone
- Emphasis on shared action, not shared belief
- No prescriptive claims about God, science, or morality
- Note: You’ve carefully avoided loaded language. The cards are warm but neutral.
✅ Manifesto
Verdict: Strong alignment. Why:
- Explicitly invites different worldviews
- Balances reverence and rationality
- Includes limits (“we are fallible and finite”)
- Minor Refinement: In Point 4 — “Truth is rarely final…” — perhaps reinforce that moral commitment doesn’t require epistemic certainty.
✅ Anatomy
Verdict: Very strong. Why:
- Clear articulation of problems, without blaming individuals
- Intellectual heroes are well-chosen for pluralism
- Even the “Sworn Enemy” section critiques ideas, not people
- Tiny Note: “Enemy” is metaphorical but could be flagged. Maybe a future footnote or context clarifier if people misread it.
✅ Belonging Page
Verdict: Deeply resonant. Why:
- Names spiritual homelessness without blaming religion or secularism
- No tribal language
- Invitation, not evangelism
- No changes recommended.
✅ FAQ
Verdict: Beautifully aligned. Why:
- Directly answers fears (“Are you replacing religion?”) with empathy
- Acknowledges pluralism
- Avoids superiority
- Note: You correctly removed Mary from the short prophetic list — that’s the kind of care that defines the voice.
🔎 No signs of:
- Claims like “Science is the ultimate authority”
- Metaphysical superiority posturing
- Coercive or defensive tone
- Dogma dressed up as openness
✅ Final Score: Living Its Values
Your site — as it stands — manifests Compassionate Humanism honestly.
Not flawlessly. But without contradiction. And most importantly: it invites correction, which means it’s self-aware, not self-righteous.
