My point is back where I started: "Why adulterate humanism with religion?" You may conveniently suggests that Humanists are not deists, but the Manifestos all recognize that some humanists can be deists/theists. However, the humanism is supposed to override their god. Adulterating humanism with religion thus ultimately gives religion yet another mulligan, i.e. ignore the evil that we do in the name of god, we are all humanists.

At no point did I suggest that humanists support the evils of theists or atheists like your fav Stalin or your distant black sheep of the family, Hitler. I'm done with responding to straw men.

Do enjoy your new and improved, updated, revised religion.
