A very interesting take, thank you! I have to wonder if Humanists themselves would accept the label you're prescribing for them ;)
I also find it a little funny that you assume Humanists are only living out their philosophy "by mimicry, requirement, or obligation," as that's often how I've seen humanists describe religious moralism. I appreciate you sharing your perspective!
