Secular humanism. If we do a google "define:secular humanism" search we come up with five listings.

The first two are sites with a religious orientation. Their definitions are:

a religious worldview where "man is the measure;" man, in himself, is the ultimate norm by which values are to be determined; all reality and life center upon man; man is god.

A form of religion that believes in humanistic values. Placing man before God. The thought that man is practically a god.

The last three are non-religious sites. Their definitions are:

An outlook or a philosophy that advocates human rather than religious values.

humanism: the doctrine emphasizing a person's capacity for self-realization through reason; rejects religion and the supernatural

Secular humanism is an active lifestance that holds a naturalisic worldview and advocates the use of reason, compassion, scientific inquiry, ethics, justice and equality.

Who is it that is defining secular humanism as a religion?

(Oh, and one court decision did as well. I read it and it is extremely narrow and possibly unique, so don't bother citing that to me.)

More than one court decision but the important one was in the SCOTUS in Torasco. It has never been overturned and thus stare decisis rules the day. You can scoff at it or not but it is currently the "law of the land". And if you don't belive me you can ask the "rulers of the land" the SCOTUS.

Live by the courts, die by the courts.

Another ruling you might be interested in is a recent one by the Ninth Circuit which said in essence that once school children enter the door of a public school parental rights are gone, vanished, poof. In other words according to the Ninth Circuit morons the Dover parents had no business in court at all.

Once again, live by the oligarchy, suffer the oligrachy.
