RATIONALIST INQUISITIVENESS !
Rationalism promotes inquisitiveness and scientific temper.Thus it is opposed to any kind of dogmatic and metaphysical assumptions,religious prejudice and conservatism. Mere negation of hypothesis about supposed 'god' and its associated religiosity is not rationalism.One has to be rational ,in practice and perception in all aspects of our day to day life.I have come across rationalist friends,who quite inexplicably support regressive and reactionary socio-political concepts. .Rationalism is in,tune with scientific temper and accept in any intellectual pursuit,spirit of inquiry,commitment to truth and a well calculated method to give progressive knowledge of facts.Rationalism accepts a naturalistic order and aims at human well being and happiness in this world.The idea of an other worldly supra mundane disembodied existence is a myth. The idea of heaven,hell,day of judgment,liberation,disembodied existence etc are religious beliefs and not proven facts.
