"The problem with your logic is that this is the US and we are entitled to our own religious belief, and to define that belief. Religion is a very personal issue, and in many ways it is in the eyes of the beholder. If secular humanists choose to call themselves a religion, then it is a religion. Who are we to impose a litmus test or argue otherwise? On the contrary, in the US we must uphold the rights of others to believe whatever the heck they want to believe."

If you read once again what I wrote, you will note that I agree that every person has the right to believe whatever they want, and not only here in the US, but anywhere. I respect that right, and by the way so does God Who gives each of us free will to choose what we believe and do.
What I do not have to respect is the belief itself. If islam teaches that it is ok to kill Jews, then I do not respect their beliefs.
"Seriously, I'm wondering who are these secular humanists, phantom people, out to rob our tradition and corrupt our small children, or whatever? I live in a very so-called "liberal" part of the country and I don't believe I've ever seen a "secular humanist." Do they hide? Are they a double secret society, or an enigma?"
They are all around you. Go to almost any university or college (and a lot of seminaries) and you will find a faculty full of them. Go to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and I suspect you will find a number of them. Gather together a large group of scientists and you will find a bunch of them.
Or, if you want to save time and energy, do a google <gg>.
