No they aren't, and very few people on the planet would mistake secularism for an organized religion. I never said I despise religion, BTW. That's you attempting to paint secularists as a "secular humanist" so you can keep us in your neat little mental box marked "heretics".

Secularists and freethinkers aren't the same as atheists. It is entirely possible to be a member of a conventional church, and still be both a secularist and a freethinker.
