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.

While I can't say to know that he does not believe this, I don't recall that he ever stated that he does believe this. Where did you get this idea?

"Humanist", like "liberal", is a once noble word which has been hijacked by the left, so you can understand why I am apprehensive about using it to describe myself. The people who call themselves "humanists" nowadays tend to be old-school left-wing liberals, and I have little sympathy for their simplistic approach to complex economic and social issues.
