Kurt Vonnegut a Humanist?

Question:

Kurt Vonnegut a Humanist?

The late Kurt Vonnegut Jr., widely known one of the best American novelists of the second half of the twentieth century, was a self-proclaimed "Humanist". I know in one of his works he gives his own definition of what it means to be a Humanist. Does anyone know which book it is?

Here's from his last book, A Man Without a Country:

"Do you know what a humanist is?
My parents and grandparents were humanists, what used to be called Free Thinkers. So as a humanist I am honoring my ancestors, which the Bible says is a good thing to do. We humanists try to behave as decently, as fairly, and as honorably as we can without any expectation of rewards or punishments in an afterlife. My brother and sister didn't think there was one, my parents and grandparents didn't think there was one. It was enough that they were alive. We humanists serve as best we can the only abstraction with which we have any real familiarity, which is our community."

Then he goes on and makes this wonderful joke about Issac Asimov in heaven.
