Consider this. As a secular humanist, can you imagine any reason why you wouldn't want humanist principles, values, and conclusions informing your government and society?
Yes I have a problem, if the root was religious.
Quick example: a sect of Christianity with a central belief that homosexuality is to be cured instead of accepted would maintain that the greatest humanitarian decision regarding homosexuals would be to "treat" them of their horrible affliction and their belief would be informed from their bible.
I just wholly reject your "-other- religions" idea
Secular Humanism is simply NOT a religion and you are muddying the waters unnecessarily.
I would also assert that you need not link religious and humanism because religion has a main thrust of being the best thing for humans without an added word whereas secularism needs the humanism part to differentiate from the negating idea of secular(which simply indicates not religious, or without a god).
