Well, I guess I could have been a bit more clear. Since, secular humanism is a species of naturalism and since naturalism excludes supernatural entities like Satan, then if secular humanist morality originated either from Satan or from themselves, then it logically must be the case that the morality of secular humanists originates from themselves.
Then what is your definition of "secular humanist"? How do you determing if someone meets your definition? What "moral agenda" do you feel these individuals are trying to promote?
