In a nutshell, Humanist believe in the intrinsic good of the human race and that one should live right and treat everyone with love for the sake of the race versus the promise of reward (Heaven) or threat of punishment (Hell.) Most Humanists are agnostic but others believe in a Deity. I fall into the latter and prefer to call Him God. But we do not believe in the Trinity.
There is a book: African-American Humanism: an anthology written by Norm R. Allen Jr. that you might find of interest.

Thanks ladygreek. Just to make sure I understand. You believe in a higher being, but after this life that's kinda it? There is no afterlife, per se. Is that right? What role does the deity play in humanity from a humanist standpoint?
