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.)

Our founding fathers were secular humanists. Every single one of them (plus Lincoln) succinctly stated we need the church the hell out of government or else. Also what on earth makes you think someone who's not churchy is any less moral or ethical than the church nuts? You think Falwell, Bakker, Robertson and Swaggart are moral men? You think any one of them is honest? Notice the #1 evangelical who remains held in high esteem stays the hell out of government as he should - Billy Graham.
