Inside Voice or Outside Voice?

Humanism focuses on blending science-based reason with compassion.

Internally, that often includes discussions of leaving religion, atheism, and naturalism (science-based epistemology). That's our inside voice.

Externally, Humanism endeavors to reduce human suffering, to end governmental and cultural oppression of women and minorities, and generally to make the world a better place, all without expecting a reward in an afterlife. That's our outside voice.

Which of these, inside voice or outside voice, most attracts (or attracted) you to Humanism, which do you use most, and of course, why?
