I think secular also bothers them because they often don't know what it means, and assume it just means atheist/communist/science/nazi/anti-theist. But most enlightened christians agree secular is the way to go, as far as I know.It's interesting, because maybe secular humanism is misusing or at least extending the definition of "secular". Here is the wikipedia definition:
Quote:Secularism is the principle of the separation of government institutions and persons mandated to represent the state from religious institutions and religious dignitaries.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secularism
The "secular" in secular humanism is saying that God and religion are not necessary for morality and ethics. Probably secular humanism goes further to say that God and religion should not be a consideration in morality and ethics? This would mean that an individual should not consider religion when making moral or ethical decisions - i.e. separation of the individual from religion. If that is the case, then I can see how Christians would see secular humanism as a part of that vast Luciferian conspiracy.
