Secularism is the likely baby of just about every member of this board. A secular state is a defacto "atheist state". There's no need to jump through any soviet hoops to get there.
Humanism is about stressing the importance and primacy of mans needs over the desires of the supernatural. As it relates to secularism, it's the notion that a state is best arranged to service the needs of it's people, not some god.
One needn't be an atheist to see the crux of either position, and by brute force of demographics, most humanists and secularists are theists.
Atheism, you see....concerns one's state of belief in gods.
Do you understand?
