I imagine I'm not the only one who missed this.  References, please.
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.
