Nope...I am not a secular humanist, because I place no faith in the ability of people or governments to solve all our problems, nor do I believe that man is innately "good". My conservatism is based on an unyielding stare in the face of reality, and saying "OK, this is how things are, and we have to face the fact that they aren't always what we want them to be".

But that just says that you are a PESSIMISTIC, or to be exact, not-necessarily-OPtimistic, Secular Humanist.

Anyone who believes/assumes Man is the highest of the beings is a secular humanist.
