I think the citations from the Humanist Manifesto perfectly show how secular Humanism is pretty much Christianity without God, but it seems Humanist organizations have grown indifferent to these principles as they have all sorts of people in their ranks. Check out the American Humanist Association's annual Humanist awardees. Many of these people wouldn't be Humanists according to the HM, I think the term Humanist now is very vague you could apply it to any non-religious philosophy. The great Dr. Albert Ellis was one of the awardees and his ethical beliefs were quite similar to Epicureanism. I think Humanist groups could be a nice space for Epicureans to battle superstition and share their views but it's not really a space for Epicureanism itself.

Hello! Thank you for the welcome. I'm just a young guy who's interested in how to reduce the gloom and live a happier life so I wanted to learn everything about exactly that. When I came across Epicurus, I was immediately enthralled by how much he was ahead of his time. I've read the well known ancient stuff such as Principal Doctrines and Vatican Sayings, really looking forward to reading DeWitt soon. I'm glad to find an active community of likeminded people.
