The enemy of Humanism is not faith - the enemy of Humanism is hate, it is fear, it is ignorance, it is the darker part of man that is in every Humanist, and every person in the world... but faith is something we have to embrace. Faith in God means believing absolutely in something, with no proof whatsoever. Faith in humanity means believing absolutely in something with a huge amount of proof to the contrary. We are the true believers.

Agreed. I *heart* Joss so much. Reminds me of Serenity, when Shepherd Book and Mal are having a discussion on faith and Book tells Mal he just needs to have faith in something, not necessarily God. But mostly I just like Mal's comparison of religion to waiting for a train that never comes.
