Suppose the West remains theocratic for many more centuries, which cultures around the world are more likely to be leading the charge for humanism?
Basic criteria:
this is about principles, consensus, and legality in a culture - the very basis on which non-observance by powerful individuals, groups, and institutions within that culture can be called hypocrisy
against/ending cruel and unusual punishment, collective punishment
against/ending slavery
banning mutilation of human body
ending human sacrifice, immolation
ending public execution
It's fair to say any culture with humanistic aspiration should at least meet these criteria.
Which culture(s) would emerge as the champion(s) of humanism and when?
