Of dear,wrong AGAIN.

Humanism has nothing to do 'faith'. It has everything to with reason, observation,and fact. It does not rely the superstitions of a small tribe of illiterate bronze age goat herders.

I said earlier that I did not mean faith as it is defined by religion.

Faith merely means "complete trust or confidence in someone or something." Faith is not merely a term solely relegated to religious conversation.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Secularism has nothing whatsoever to do with complete confidence in anything. It has to do with an estimate that best odds, such as it is, lay in something other than religion.
