> A humanist may have strong, sincerely held beliefs, but he is not under any authority that compels those beliefs, so they aren't "religious".
The article actually links to a federal court case which ruled, indeed, that humanism is a religion [0].
It is my understanding that to suggest that strong, sincerely held beliefs are not in themselves authoritative is a rejection of humanism.
