This "new religion" has such a following for one simple reason:  unlike
all other religions, Secular Humanism's miracles work.  Reliably.  As
Asimov put it many years ago, in "Foundation" (exact fidelity of quote
not guaranteed...):

	...for it is a characteristic of the religion of science
	that it works, and its curses really are deadly...

Sounds like as good a reason as any for adopting a religion.  (And much
better than the reasons usually advanced...)  Most religions claim to
have the inside scoop on how the universe works;  Secular Humanism is
the only one that not only claims to know but can prove it, by getting
real results.
