Sure. It's about being human in the fullest sense devoid of any absolute morality or ethics other than what is politically expedient for the survival of the wealthy within a pecking order of collective military might euphemistically called 'culture'. It is about the ego, the unconquerable machine that aims for targets it can never reach because it has a spirit that is not equipped to make heaven happen in our time. The attempt however, a repeated cycle of degenerating loops, produces only super egos whose words and deeds become icons in a landscape full of tombs and shrines to where the slain lay, killed by their suffocating unrelenting liturgy and songs of ignorance.
To be a humanist is to be profoundly ignorant of the significance of eternal retribution, a lack that often instills nihilistic tendencies, and therefore to always be found negotiating with the words and deeds of the dead because in the now there is nothing but despair.
When humanists argued their case with Jesus He simply replied, 'God is a God of the living, not of the dead'.
To be a humanist is to be profoundly dead at birth and dead at death.

I know that even though modern day humanist will deny it The original Humanist Manifesto refered to Humanism as non-thiest religion.
It was also clasified as a religion by the Supreme Court in
U.S. Supreme Court TORCASO v. WATKINS, 367 U.S. 488 (1961) Secular Humanism is referred to as a religion.
"Among religions in this country which do not teach what would generally be considered a belief in the existence of God are Buddhism, Taoism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism and others."
And I know that they have allot of faith in mankind that I simply can not muster when I look at all the evil in the world I know that men can not save themselves.. I mean look at us half of our society thinks that Saddam Hussein ought to die for his crimes of mass murder, half of our society thinks he needs a big hug. How in the world can beings with that level of conflict ever hope to save the world?

Being a humanist is to take all of the good parts about religion (the parts that tell people to lead good, ethical lives and treat their fellow humans with respect and compassion) without all of the blindness and intolerance that organized faith tends to induce. It's having strength enough to believe you should be good to your neighbor regardless of whether or not there is a hell to be sent to if you don't.

Humanism is a philosophy with the human person at it's center. When most people think of humanism, they are thinking of secular humanism - the worst cancer in our society. Secular Humanists are materialistic atheists.
Christian humanism looks at the whole person (including the immortal soul) and has a fuller understanding of the human person as having been redeemed by Christ. Christian Humanism is also concerned with the material well-being of people, but for different reasons. It also realizes that their spiritual well-being is more important than material.

Humanism is a creed essentially centered on man being supreme, and humanity as a whole being the optimal goal to support and promote.
Google "HUMANIST MANIFESTO", there is a ton of information about humanism.

A humanist is somebody who subscribes to the broad ethical philosophies of HUMANISM. Its basis is simply to find ethical stance that is not based on any supernatural beliefs or even for that matter any transcendental justifications such as faith, divinely revealed texts, etc.
Renaissance Humanism for eg sowed the seeds of the Reformation movement in Europe in the 14th C.

Humanism is one of the euphemisms created by marxists to trick people. The idea here is to spread marxist principles without letting people know they are actually marxist. The manipulation here is threefold. That these principles are an intrinsic part of the human condition (they most definitely are not). That they are altruistic and good (they are heinously evil). And that goodness is secular. This last is probably the biggest lie of all, as people separated from God are capable of the most heinous acts of evil. It's this separation that they are after.
Every single marxist government without exception has engaged in heinous evil of incredible depth and scope. Literally, hundreds of millions of innocent people have been cruelly executed by marxism over only a couple of generations....russia, china, vietnam, north korea cuba, nazi germany (it was called national SOCIALISM for a reason), the list goes on and on. This continues to this day. Those not killed, live a life of slavery, grinding poverty, depravity and the most crushing oppression imaginable.
All this starts by first separating people from God so that they will accept the evil by degrees. The first attempts are manipulative. Humanism is an example of this. So is atheism. Later, they become coercive (example: china recently was in the news because their cops bashed in the skulls of a bunch of nuns because they protested the closing of their church). Without their faith, people lose the ability to tell right from wrong. They stand by mute as behaviors become more and more evil. Many join in. You see this pattern over and over again.
You would think that people would catch on. But they don't.

I guess that would be worshiping yourself as god. It's easy to do and way too many people do it.
That way you owe no credit to anyone or God. You made it all by yourself and deserve a pat on the back, but only way to get it is to give it to yourself.
