Personally, I have a general impression that there's more community and culture among self-described humanists. Humanism (whether you view it as a philosophy or religion) strikes me as more geared toward belief/values in practice versus atheism, which is simply the belief that there is no God. I prefer to describe myself as a humanist.
Humanistic Judaism 101: Humanistic Judaism embraces a human-centered philosophy that combines rational thinking with a celebration of Jewish culture and identity. Humanistic Jews value their Jewish identity and the aspects of Jewish culture that offer a genuine expression of their contemporary way of life. Humanistic Jewish communities celebrate Jewish holidays and life cycle events (such as weddings and bar and bat mitzvah) with inspirational ceremonies that draw upon but go beyond traditional literature.
