Humanists are atheists or agnostics. Calling Humanism a religion is like saying “not playing football” is a sport. I never play football – does this make me a keen sportsman.

The point we make about nativity scenes relates to inclusiveness. Most Humanist do not wish to have these removed – we want to be included by having the opportunity to display our own message to the millions who share our views. It is something to do with the concept of free speech.

Great article, I think worldview is another label for making a belief system. Religions of non-belief are too widely curtailed by such confusion. A religion is a system of belief. So you can’t get away from believing things. A system of non-belief is still a religion in aspect. A great book that doesn’t really go into the bible but sticks with great arguement is A Reason for God by Tim Keller.Here is a free preview of part of the book.

But, secular humanism is not a religion, but simply a worldview; a philosophical perspective on life and reality, if you will. By saying that it is a religion, you are committing a false premise for logical purposes, which counters your argument altogether.
