Atheism and morality (Introduction)

George, this is not actually a response to your last post, but a request for information. On 18 October at 04.19, Matt complained about humanism's "essential assertion of pacifism". Historically, I know that many humanists have indeed been pacifists, and probably still are, but I was not aware that this was integral to the modern form of humanism. Obviously wars of aggression would be out, but I'm not aware of humanist opposition to wars of self-defence. Since you are much more au fait with these matters than I am, I'd be grateful if you would enlighten us.
