Clever Humanists

I didn't notice this until yesterday, but the secular humanists (headquartered in wny) have revised their manifesto. They've taken out the 'religious' sounding phrases because they no longer want anyone to think of them as a humanist religion.

Historically, they were proud of being a new religion, but now they've realized that religions aren't allowed to teach in public schools. Currently they are trying to be religious enough to keep their tax-exempt status, but not so religious as to lose the right to spread their teachings. So far so good, for them. Quite clever.
