According to humanist thinkers, decisions of a political nature should be made based on rational thought.
According to humanism:
decisions should be based on practical human experiences
decisions should be based on rational thought and logic
knowledge does not come from a supernatural source but rather from trial and error
When it comes to politics, this applies as well. They believed that decisions of governance should be made based on what will apply best to society and not what religion believes. It was this thinking that led to the Renaissance.
In conclusion, Humanists believe that decisions should follow a rational process.
