Quote
The American Humanist Association (AHA) is a non-profit organization in the United States that advances secular humanism, a philosophy of life that, without theism or other supernatural beliefs, affirms the ability and responsibility of human beings to lead personal lives of ethical fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.

The American Humanist Association was founded in 1941 and currently provides legal assistance to defend the constitutional rights of secular and religious minorities, lobbies Congress on church-state separation and other issues, and maintains a grassroots network of 250 local affiliates and chapters that engage in social activism, philosophical discussion and community-building events. The AHA has several publications, including the bimonthly magazine The Humanist, quarterly newsletter Free Mind, peer-reviewed semi-annual scholastic journal Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism, and daily online news site TheHumanist.com. The organization states that it has over 34,000 members.

No qualms with the organization messaging of building a better world for the goodness of mankind. They seem to have a great understanding of fighting back against the theocratic nature of the Christian Right-wing and are fighters for social justice causes. Don't know how you could be reasonably against the message even if you're a believer of religion. One of the best organizations in challenging the MAGA crowd in the laws of morality and the fairness of the marginalized.

Humanism is for losers, so a whole organization dedicated to them is a joke. Plus, most humanist atlas posters are annoying, tying into the demographic awfulness of modern humanism.

"Christianity is for losers, so a whole organization dedicated to them is a sick joke.
 Moreover, most Christian atlas posters are extremely nasty and Orthodox Christianity is awful."
I put that in quotes, because I don't agree with the statement, but it shows the blatant double standard at Atlas. Criticize Christianity and you run the risk of being banned for life. Criticize any other religion and you become an Atlas institution.

The fact that you got 4 recommendations while the person you quoted got 0 is a huge hole in your argument, lol.

If you think PSOL is criticizing humanism from the perspective of being more receptive to traditional religious claims than most self-described humanists are, rather than even less, then I don't know what forum you're posting on, but it's not the US Atlas Elections Talk Secular Blog Forum that I know.

That doesn't make his criticism of the organization from a marxist perspective any less worthless,
