The 50 Greatest People of All Time



Scientific Humanism says that you are a winner, and not a sinner- so you might be able to even move to a higher level than even Jesus’ teachings. You have unlimited potential! We’ll show you how you can often rise to levels, in many very important, non-trivial ways, that even exceed many gods, prophets, and the most admired people of all time. We have strong faith….faith in you!

1.      Many of the 5000+ claimed “gods”. Not always in human form.
2.      Jesus.
3.      Mohammad – founder of the world’s #2 religion.
