Cosmic Humanism vs Secular Humanism
One of man's wrong objects of faith is himself. Humanism rests on the conviction that man's intellect as he uses the scientific method can bring solutions to all his problems and answers to all his questions. Man needs no outside help. He has in himself all the resources he needs. Moreover, humanism says that things will continue to get better and better. Some kind of cosmic force that lies behind evolution guarantees continued progress.
Today, Humanism is everywhere. Many Christian religions have adopted Humanistic ideas. Some believe that only those that are now considered "the religious right" by today's society are truly Christian and all other forms of Christianity are really Humanistic Christianity.
In the Bible it talks about why faith in humanism is wrong faith. Psalm 118:8 says, "It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to trust in man." Also, Jeremiah 17:5-8 says, "This is what the Lord says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord.

It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." These verses clearly show us that we are to trust in God and not ourselves for we can do nothing without Him.
