    can you please name me ONE group who believes that this life is all that we have AND has this as their motto,

    American Humanist Association

    The "this life is all that we have" bit

    Extract:

    Promises of immortal salvation or fear of eternal damnation are both illusory and harmful.

    There is no credible evidence that life survives the death of the body. We continue to exist in our progeny and in the way that our lives have influenced others in our culture.




    The "we can respond by saying let us ensure that everybody should be supported in making life as meaningful and comfortable as possible for the brief period that they are around." bit

    In other words (extract from site)

    Human life has meaning because we create and develop our futures. Happiness and the creative realization of human needs and desires, individually and in shared enjoyment, are continuous themes of humanism.
