OK, we've got a religion, complete with commandments, a bit of preaching, even an official holiday. Now we need a name. I decided to use my screen name and call it Umanity. That makes me a Umanitarian, not to be confused with humanitarian.
A great humanitarian might not be a great Umanitarian. Someone who truly puts others before him or her self is in violation of the First Commandment. Helping others because you enjoy it and you believe it makes your universe better is not a violation. It may seem a trivial distinction, but it goes to the core of the First Commandment. Motivation and recognizing it is key.
