Religion is rigid and narrow. Humanism is flexible and broad. Hence religion can become irrelevant over a period of time as changes take place in the world, but humanism remains relevant all the time because it adapts to changes without diluting the prime purpose of good of the humanity in general!!

Your question needs to be rephrased. There are religious humanists and secular humanists (or they call them secular humanists). However, I will answer what is above. Religion places the solution for problems encountered in life on a god or gods; humanism says that man is fully capable of solving those problems himself.

Religion: "Man is created in the image of God"
Humanism: "Man is the measure of all things"

Devout religious people think humanism is bad.
Devout humanists think religion is bad.
That's about it.
All other rationalizations by both sets of believers are uninformed speculations, expressions of narrow-minded biases, and hot air.

Religion is Theocentric, and humanism is anthropocentric.

The former is focused on God, the latter on people.
