I quite like the BHA, and though I do not define myself as a humanist, I identify with some of their core beliefs and ideas such as secularism, promotion of equality and freedom of beliefs.


My only objection, along the lines Rob alluded to, concerns this in the opening paragraph at that site "..and have placed human welfare and happiness at the centre of their ethical decision making."  I'm immediately suspect of such a narrow, clannish view which takes into account first and foremost only ones own kind.  Hey, my dog deserves better than that.
