What does humanism say about inherently bad people?
No it's not, whether you like it or not.

Humanism doesn't have to compete with organised (and man-made) religions. Why should it?

It doesn't have to compete with faith (to acknowledge Truthpaste's distinctions, and hatred of religion) or go toe-to-toe with the certainties of cult members.

Human beings can give their own meaning to their lives, create their own values and purposes, and face death without terror. We no longer live in the fear and ignorance of past centuries. We should have grown up!
