The Religion: Secular Humanism?

The reason as to why I placed a question mark after secular humanism is because Christian fundmentalists believe it is one while those who are part of this "religion" consider it not to be a religion. Personally I do not believe that it is a religion, due to the fact that they follow no supernatural force (ex. Jesus for Christians, Muhammad for Islams). Secular Humanism is interesting...they are committed to the use of critical reason, factual evidence, and scientific methods of inquiry, rather than faith. They have a primary concern with fulfillment, growth, and creativity for humankind in general. I found a great site that talks more in detail about secular humanism and what they believe: http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?page=what&section=main
