Conservapedia's article calls secular humanism a form of philosophical skepticism.  Strangely, the most prominent secular humanists I see appear in the media and on the internet would be better described as "confidence anarchists" (see [[Confidence game]]) and hardly philosophical at all.  Take the crudest stereotype you can imagine of the black spherical bomb-wielding anarchist of the early 1900s, dress them up in modern apparel with the untruth as their new weapon of sabotage and watch them betray every "human" institution that makes civilized life possible in the course of their labored effort to force others to taste the gall that welled up in them after the just consequences of their failed sinful grab at importance was visited upon their own persons.  [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) 14:35, 5 November 2015 (EST)

:Vargasmillan, my guess is that you mainly see representatives of the [[New Atheism]] school of atheists in the media or those who launch legal fights about church-state issues.

:About the only time the secular humanists get press is when it comes to atheist churches stories. The father of secular humanism was the academic Paul Kurtz and often academics don't seek press attention.
