How is Sentientism
Different?
Atheism
Humanism
Secularism
Brights
Veganism
Veganism is also open about the basis for its moral consideration for
animals. Many vegans hold supernatural or religious views,
whereas sentientists show compassion for non-human animals
because of scientific evidence that they can experience suffering and
flourishing.
Painism
Painism grants moral standing to any being that can experience
pain. That extends to humans, non-human animals and also
potential alien or “artificial” beings. Pain is defined broadly, to
include any form of negative experience, whether physical pain,
fear, injustice or boredom.
Anti-speciesism
Animalism
Sentiocentrism
