Don't take my word for it. I know you have the internet. Google.
The first humanists - the people who defined the position..weren't trying to do shit for atheists. They were theists. I can't even grasp at whatever problem you're arguing against with the idea that these are "erroneous definitions" - as if that were even a thing. Definitions are axiomatic. They literally can't be wrong. If you're talking about some other thing, or concerned about some other thing..that doesn't mean that a definition is erroneous, it just means that you're talking about some other thing.
I'm willing to bet that whatever that is also already has a definition.
Subsequent to my argument that the definition of humanism is incorret, all other terms using "humanism" are subject to review, if not inherently erroneous, because of the semantic root reference to the incorrect definition of 'humanism.'
Humnism is not a religion, just as theism is not a religion. And it is very odd that you believe that atheism can be religious. And it is further odd that other members, who are predominately atheists, are not challenging your declaration; unless they are meritoriously forgiving you, because you are trolling me.
