According to secularhumanism.org their concept is based on:
> Free Inquiry
> Separation Of Church And State
> The Ideal Of Freedom
> Ethics Based On Critical Intelligence
> Moral Education
> Religious Skepticism
> Reason
> Science And Technology
> Evolution
> Education

My impression of the people you list as being secular humanists would not fit with these tenets:
Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Khruschev, Mao Tse Tung, Saddam Hussein.

Maybe the definition varies by the student. There is certainly inconsistency in interpretations of organized religions.

Thank you for making me stretch my knowledge. I never knew anything about secular humanism. (I probably still don't.)
