Two other reasons. One, they see separation of church and state to be a bad thing and a falsely imposed principle. The second is that they see this as saying society should be human centered when they think it should be God centered.

I personally have a problem with some variants of secular humanism in that they arbitrarily posit certain values without sound justification.
