Humanistische Manifeste und Deklarationen
Im Jahr 1933 startete in den USA das Humanist Manifesto alias Humanist Manifesto I mit internationalen Unterzeichnerinnen diese Reihe von humanistischen Manifesten. Fortgesetzt wurde diese Reihe 1973 mit Humanist Manifesto II und 2003 als Humanism and Its Aspirations alias Humanist Manifesto III diese Reihe.

Weiters hier die Zusammenfassungen von Prof. Wuketits zu den humanistischen Deklarationen von 1952 bzw. 2002 „At the first World Humanist Congress in the Netherlands in 1952, Humanists International (then: International Humanist and Ethical Union, IHEU) general assembly agreed a statement of the fundamental principles of modern Humanism – The Amsterdam Declaration. At the 50th anniversary World Humanist Congress in 2002, the IHEU general assembly unanimously passed a resolution updating that declaration – "The Amsterdam Declaration 2002".

Und für die FEWD besonders relevant die 1980 verabschiedete Deklaration „A Secular Humanist Declaration was an argument for and statement of support for democratic secular humanism. The document was issued in 1980 by the Council for Democratic and Secular Humanism (CODESH), now the Council for Secular Humanism (CSH). Compiled by Paul Kurtz, it is largely a restatement of the content of the American Humanist Association's 1973 Humanist Manifesto II, of which he was co-author with Edwin H. Wilson. Both Wilson and Kurtz had served as editors of The Humanist, from which Kurtz departed in 1979 and thereafter set about establishing his own movement and his own periodical. His Secular Humanist Declaration was the starting point for these enterprises. Siehe https://secularhumanism.org/a-secular-humanist-declaration/
