Secular Humanism I begin by describing “Secular Humanists” as non-believers of God. A very different religion, yet it carries slight similarities to Christianity. “Donavon Flegeance” mentioned in his book “Reality Check”, that in every religion, people choose certain parts of the evolutionary theory to believe in.
