I think of secular humanism as a methodology, rather than a system of beliefs and as such, it may be subscribed to by people of different religious faiths. All that it requires is

There certainly are theistic brands of Humanism. There is no reason there cannot be Christian Humanists, or Jewish Humanists, and so on. As long as they put the needs of humans, and our fellow animals and the environment we all need to share, ahead of the needs of their gods, they are more than welcome to be a part of the greater Humanism. -- Dave
