HELP!
If you were going to start a nonprofit organization that promotes fine artwork that addresses humanist issues (human rights, social justice, religious skepticism, questioning conventions and authority, promoting science and reason) what would be a good name?
NO ACRONYMS!
I liked "Art for Life's Sake", but alas, there is already a nonprofit in TN with that name.
I'm looking for something short, memorable, and to the point. Any suggestions?

The Art(s) of Thought, or Free Thinking
Is this painting only?
The poster should have one of those classic images of the Spanish Inquisition with your name over the top.

| I don't want it to be about rationalism or skepticism, but about humanism. They are slightly different. |

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Just off the top of my head. Best to check if they already exist somewhere, but as far as I know, they don't.
