Theistic Humanism is the combination of humanistic ideals, particularly the idea that ideals and morals stem from society, with a belief in the supernatural and transcendental.[1][2]

It is frequently invoked as a form of spiritual opposition to monotheism.[citation needed]

Theistic Humanism in African Philosophy[edit]

InSouthern Africa, indigenous humanism is popularly associated with the Ubuntu philosophy, and its fusion with Traditional African religion is often referred to as Theistic Humanism.[3][4] Ubuntu asserts that society, not a transcendent being, gives human beings their humanity. This form of theistic humanism has frequently been associated with opposition to globalisation.[citation needed]
