Most Secular Humanists and other Atheists view family as one of the key institutions to creating a functional society and engendering peace and tranquility among people. Family bonds are based in love, trust, hope, and reciprocal good treatment. These are things worth nourishing and protecting. However, Secular Humanists and other Atheists see families as worthy of dissolution in those cases where family members cannot, after persistent attempts, have a cordial or functional relationship. They support divorce or estrangement in these unfortunate circumstances.
It depends on the person. Each person has a different view on things. It depends on the one you are talking to.

It is important to note that a person that holds a secular humanists viewpoint does not retain any specific opinion regarding wealth, however, it is sometimes incorrectly argued that humanists may be less inclined to share their wealth. Generally, secular humanists see money in much the same way as a person of faith. It would be fair to say that secular humanists are no more attracted to an extrinsic lifestyle when compared with other schools of thought. There is no evidence, for example, that a secular humanist would be less likely to use his or her wealth to support the work of charities; In fact there are many secular organisations which do just that.
Many secular humanists are not as intolerant as religious people when it comes to different sexual orientations. Since secular humanists do not follow the religious teachings found in holy books, they are more likely to be tolerant of gay marriage and equal rights for people with different sexual orientations.
Secular worship is the unflinching adoration given by humanists to their young children, their state, and their ideals, such as communism, libertarianism, etc.
The Medici family employed humanists to teach their children.
Secular humanism is different from other non-religious or anti-religious philosophies in that humanists believe they have an obligation to serve humanity as a whole as opposed to just the individual. family members are part of humanity as a whole so theoretically a humanist would believe in treating their family members in an ethical manner based on his/her ideas of what is best for humanity.

"Non-secular Humanism" is generally referred to as plain old "humanism", which is much the same thing, but can include spirituality and lesser deist beliefs, such as agnosticism. It does not exclude secular humanists, but many are inclined to include the "secular" part in order to be clear on the atheistic nature of their moral and ethical beliefs.

A:The word 'humanist' came about because the eighteenth century humanists believed in studying the humanities, which for them meant the Greek classics. They realised that the ancient Greeks provided some of the most profound insights into ethics, sometimes to the consternation of the Church, which taught that only by believing in Christ could we overcome Satan and behave ethically. These 'Christian humanists' were, by definition, religious. However, the modern use of the word humanist is generally associated with non-religious people, often as 'secular humanists'.
