You may be a secular humanist if you:
Have no morals, have no need of morals, believe morals are a figment of your imagination.
Have no god, have no need of god, believe god is a figment of your imagination.
Are a sociopathic idealist or sociopathic retard.
Are prejudice against anyone that even thinks about god or salvation.
No, really. This is a joke. There are secular humanists that are good hearted people that work to benefit many aspects of the world and deserve a lot of respect and admiration. You don't have to believe in god to be obiedient to god, or otherwise be compassionate, patient and caring.

"You don't have to believe in god to be obiedient to god,"
which is essnetially saying
"you know god is there, you're just secretly rejecting him".
OR
"you can be a good person by my standards, even if you do not bleive in god."

"Uh, yup, it's a religion. Sorry guys."
in that sense. yes.. but that is an entirely different level then any theistic religion or fundementalism.
that is religion the the broadest sense of the word. namely, "a system of beliefs"
but you must alse be lbe to see, that none of the tenants require blind fiath.
like "there IS a magical skydaddy".

I would not agree to secular humanism being a religion.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/faith says about faith: "belief and trust in and loyalty to God" as well as "firm belief in something for which there is no proof". About religion: "the service and worship of God or the supernatural". Simply picking the only definition that almost fits secular humansim (apart from the faith bit) doesn't make it a religion.

I'm just saying that the ideas of secular humanism correlates very well with my own.

I'd go as far as to say it correlates perfectly with my own ideas. I hadn't heard of it before I saw this thread, but I'm quite happy I found it.

"YOU MAY BE A SECULAR HUMANIST IF:
• You try to live an ethical and fulfilling life without religious belief.
• You think science and reason lead to more reliable knowledge than faith.
• You support secular government and an open society that guarantees human rights for all.
• You make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values.
• You see no convincing evidence for gods, the supernatural, or life after death.
• You believe that moral values are properly founded on human empathy and scientific understanding.
• You believe we must live this life on the basis that it is the only life we'll have -- that, therefore, we must make the most of it for ourselves, each other, and our world."
