8. I've never heard of Religious Humanism, I think you mean Secular Humanism.

Take a look at TFG and his clone Pootie. I don't think they buy a god thing. About as close as an anti-theist as two people can get. They have no empathy for other humans, as a Humanist would and no fear of a make believe hell as a theist might.
You may want to go back and read the Manifesto. I don't see any of that. It speaks to the basic humanity shared by almost every culture, religious or not. Humanism put humans before gods, that's the point. I think you miss the point and get tied up in hate, just like a religion might teach to attack the "other". Open your mind and read and study some comparative religion classes. Then take some time to look at Zen and Lao Tzu and tell me about what they think and teach.

Anyway, good luck with the journey.
