Humanist/Humanitarian potential in artificial institutions

I just want to return to a theme I covered in an earlier post 'Conservative world view' about humanitarianism in corporations. The point I made about artificial human institutions being capable of incorporating humanist/humanitarian principles can and should be extended beyond corporations to include all human institutions. The largest classes of these include governments (constitutions and nations), international agencies, economies and religions. Humans determine the size and scope of these institutions; we humans can decide to be humanist/humanitarian in the drafting and execution of these institutions.

As an aside, I prefer humanist over humanitarian because the latter often carries religious undertones due to its frequently co-option through the 'good-works' of their institutions.
