Humanists believe that
a. love is an illusion.
b. shakespeare didn't actually write the plays we think he did.
c. humans and animals existed on the same level.
d. life on earth is important in its own right.

The correct answer is D. Life on earth is important in its own right. This is correct because humanism came into existence as a response to the spiritually repressive times and culture that was led by the church in the dark ages. Humanists thought that people and their feelings were important and should be put into art as the focal point. Expressing yourself became important as art was no longer about presenting biblical motives.
