Dietrich (1878-1957) was a prominent Unitarian minister and one of the founders of the Humanist movement in the United States. Known as "The Father of Religious Humanism," Dietrich played a key role in developing the philosophical foundations of Humanist thought, emphasizing human ability and ingenuity over divine intervention. He was originally a minister in the Reformed Church in America but was expelled in 1911 for his liberal views. Subsequently, he joined the Unitarian Church, where he had more freedom to explore and express his progressive beliefs. He served as a minister at the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis, where he began to articulate his philosophy of Humanism. Dietrich's beliefs emphasized reason, science, and human capability. He believed that ethical living did not require a belief in the supernatural and that humans could create meaningful, ethical lives based on reason and compassion. These beliefs laid the groundwork for the Humanist Manifestos of the 20th century. " / .Humanism -- History -- 20th century. ?glises universalistes unitariennes -- Sermons.
