But, not so seriously, what is the distinction between just plain "humorist" and "secular humorist?"
It gives me a chance to turn down the "spiciesist" connotation of secular "humanist". Using "humorist" instead lets me thumb my nose at the sappy sincerity of a humanist. Keeping "secular" sets it up to make the contrast all the more jarring.
