I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who felt that humanism would surely be a major "religion" today?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In 1765, the author of an anonymous article in a French Enlightenment periodical spoke of "The general love of humanity ... a virtue hitherto quite nameless among us, and which we will venture to call 'humanism', for the time has come to create a word for such a beautiful and necessary thing".". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
