Whatever "secular humanism" means (and it seems to cover a wide area of ambiguity) I doubt that it refers to a religion. Perhaps there are several Secular Humanist temples in your neighborhood, but there are none in mine. Oh, you mean the University of Chicago? Wrong, pal. The U of C (in the classic description) is a Baptist university where atheist professors teach Thomas Aquinas to Jewish students. More than a grain of truth in this.
