Featured Term (selected at random):

HUMANITARIANISM

An ethical system that places temporal welfare of the human race as an exclusive goal of human effort and basic standard of conduct. It makes the personal and social good of human beings the primary object of human existence and subordinates, if it even considers, the worship of God to the interests of human beings.

Placing humans above God make this a heresy in my opinion.
