so what IF some choose to label secular humanism as a "religion"?
Does that mean its on par with/comparable to other religions? No.
Does that mean that people who are devoted to it are just as likely to be wrong? No.
So at this point in time most of us "believe" we evolved from more primitive lifeforms, we "believe" the earth is roughly 4 billion years old, the universe roughly 13 billion.
Call it a "religion" if you prefer. At least its not bullshit. At least its not boogeymen in the sky. Do you have any idea how childish we think that is? Like the tooth fairy.
In fact, if you read them, the values of secular humanism seem quite admirable, if its a "religion", I think its long overdue.

Build a school of thought based around secular humanism. Perform intense combat drills. Create the greatest theocracy the wrld has ever seen, crush your political opponents. Bring forth the revolution. Secular humanism for all, accept it or nothing will happen to you.

Rise up and take what is rightfully yours. Have faith, and your will will give you the power to break your chains and overcome your enemies. You will fight your war and you will win, because your psychological superiority is your trump card, don't let your chance slip away. The balance of power is shifting, you have the oppertunity to take it for yourself, take that oppertunity.
