Atheism is not a negation of god belief. It is the negation of specific person possessing god beliefs. I am an atheist. That doesn't negate god beliefs or even god's existence.
Secular, likewise, has been described as "apart from religion"...sure...but it had particular religions in mind when it defined itself as much. Religious humanism, like a religion of nature...were not among those religions in mind. If you are a humanist, you can't actually be secular with respect to religious humanists. They believe the same things that you do...exactly...and you definitely don't wish to separate your government or societal norms from humanism - as a humanist.
I think we all miss our friends when we lose them, and we focus so much on that loss that we might not notice that we have (or have the opportunity) to pick up new ones. A religious humanist believes exactly the same things you do. Can you imagine any reason why you would not want to see their religion, which you don't consider to be religious - influence government or society?
(I'm definitely your guy for that llc though, lol. I am a straight up religious humanist with a complimentary religion of nature - if we're using anthropological definitions. A vicious one, even.)
