I am one myself, just wonder how many of my fellows also think along the same line as me.

Sure, why not.

I would consider that many Atheists are humanists, considering its definition - Humanism is a broad category of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on the ability to determine right and wrong by appeal to universal human qualities—particularly rationalism. I acknowledge many humanist philosophies, but I bum out on my belief in the supernatural and paranormal (simply because of personal experience) and humanism does not support the validity of transcendental justification (such as a dependance on faith or the supernatural).

there was this question featuring a 'religion test' a while back here on Y!A, I scored 100% secular humanist. So yeah. But I never saw the need to label myself as anything.

All Atheists must be humanists because they look up to no one but man.

I'm an atheist, secular humanist, and scientific skeptic.

I don't fully subscribe to any political or spirtual creed, but yes, if I have to have a label on me, humanist is as good as any.

They seems that they have a problem committing to anything. Give them a minute and they will go to one of their atheist hate pages and it will tell them what they should be.
