Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally prefers critical thinking and evidence (rationalism, empiricism), over acceptance of dogma or superstition. Richard Dawkins is rejecting the idea of a supernatural being, but he still believes in the value and agency of human beings, which is a key principle of humanism.
