Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

Below are a few more symbols used by humanists. “Used by The American Humanist Association and The Fellowship of Religious Humanists, these circles were inspired by Edwin Markham’s praise of tolerance: He drew a circle that shut me out/Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout/But love and I had the wit to win/We drew a circle that took him in. ” [Emphasis in the original]

“The overlapping circles symbolize the merger of Unitarians and Universalists; the lamp, knowledge and the appeal to reason. Used originally by the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, it has been adopted widely by liberal churches.”

“A conventionalization of the universal man of Leonardo da Vinci; until recently used on the cover of International Humanism, this symbol has more recently been used by The American Ethical Union.”
