let me see if i can shed any light on this.

there are 2 different types of humanists that i am aware of,secular and spiritual.secular humanists are indeed atheists,but not hard line. they reject any deities,and other such things as unproven by science.spiritual humanists as i understand them are also atheists,but we would refer to them as agnostics.religion is allowed by both parties as a rule,so long as you don't try to interfere with someones basic human rights.or try to run the government that way.

rational thought can be a part of religion.some have found a way to reconcil both and find it quite fullfilling.

sorry you found them so unfriendly op.usually they aren't,unless you start preaching at them.
