Theism, as one of the foundations

Considering any outlook, we start from the fact that it provides a certain goal. This goal quotes ways to achieve it, certain restrictions and awards. For the good of this goal a person does something, or vice versa - does not. And for a certain number of his work, his achievements, and he gets some encouragement that brings a person closer to the goal.

In improving the human - as a certain ideological system operates. Certain ideas - erected as a cornerstone, the other - offset.

Because improvement is intended to achieve an ideal, then some ways comparable with religious tendencies, dogmas, systems, limitations and spiritual growth.

Let us consider the term "spiritual growth." In the ancient Middle Ages, it was not clear what the mind is, what intelligence and personality of each person. But it was clear that people can control their instincts. That level of deterrence and was presented as a spiritual growth. The power of mind (consciousness, rational, intellect) is over the body.

It is little control over the body that permitted so also promoted by the church.

Yes, it was forbidden to intervene explicitly in the body structure, to conduct anatomical experiments and research. But instead actively develop and popularize it mental control over his own shell.

Humanism, despite the many achievements, neglected such an important component of how mental control. A man must live as he wants, as he tells the body. Because it is natural, it is natural, it is natural.

Cultivating under such conditions is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Ideology provides control and waste of effort, for the sake of a distant goal. Sacrificing the benefits minute and dubious pleasure.
