I think Strodel just doesn't like humanism because it's poised to destroy the one thing Christians have claimed to have a monopoly on for so long; care towards other human beings. Christian missions have always been about charity but humanism threatens to make it not an exception for recruiting to a cause but a rule that should always be followed and it scares the shit out of him as it does all other Christians. They can't bear the thought that people can be good without god, especially with a valid reason behind it. They especially don't like that it glorifies human beings, to be expected from those who follow a religion that essentially states that humans are flawed hopelessly and are sin-sucking vile creations that must prostrate to grovel for their perceived shortcomings. All this "human life is valuable and not to be casually discarded, wasted, or harmed" stuff we humanists proclaim must sound anathema to him.
