Humanism is a Religion

I read an article online today talking about "Religion inspired bloodshed" in Nigeria. We all know that "Religious feuds" are responsible for horrendous things, but "organized religion" seems to be singled out as the source far too often. Atheists love to point out the atrocities committed by the "Christian Church" during the crusades, but they seem to conveniently ignore the fact that far worse attrocities have been committed by people with a "religious view" that does not fit into one of the world's few, large, god-centered religions. Humanism is a religion. Atheism is a religion. Environmentalism is a religion (or a sub-category of humanism). Religious views are not reserved for the major religions of the world like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, or Hinduism. Religious views are held by everyone. Everyone has a belief about the fundamental questions of life such as the origin of life, the meaning of life, and how we should live. These are religious views, even when held by people that don't profess a belief in a supernatural creator (God). It is time for everyone to realize that we all have religious views and those who believe in "science alone" are not somehow superior or more enlightened than those who believe in a creator.
