The secular humanists would want to know what the airplane really was, and they would want to find out what was really causing the bad things to happen. The secular humanists would say the airplane was not a god, and that it was only something in the real world that people didn't understand. The secular humanists would say that if people kept on worshiping the airplane as a god that they could never find out what the airplane really was, or how it worked, or why the bad things happened and how people could keep the bad things from happening. The secular humanists would understand that the belief in the airplane god was a superstition that was harming people and that their belief in the airplane god was wrong and that their wrong belief was keeping them from finding out true things that would make them happier and less afraid of things they did not understand. Many of you probably have parents and friends who are secular humanists.
Secular humanists are people who practice secular humanism.
But it really isn't. Humanism just means believing in human beings, which we all are, doing human things, which we all do. Human beings do human things. Secular means believing in this world, and in the real things that are in our real world, and not believing in some imaginary pretend world that no one can prove is real. So a secular humanist is a person who believes that human beings live in a real world, not a make believe one.
