But what they lack in privilege, the Humanists make up in prestige: the ranks of the American Humanist Association are heavy with scientists and intellectuals, and the international union boasts such influential leaders as British Biologist Julian Huxley and two Nobel prizewinners, British Agriculturist Lord Boyd Orr and U.S. Geneticist Hermann Muller...
