Why would they? Humanism is not a religion as far as I know.

It's a ''world view''.

Why shouldn't Humanists be examined also? Even as a control group if you like.

I wonder if SHers don't want to be the subject in an experiment. Whether they want to be the one's wearing the white coat.

That's not actually an answer to the question I asked.

Your OP linked to an article about 'religious leaders".

For no known reason that I can fathom you asked if [Andrew] Copson and [Terry] Sanderson were going to be part of the research, despite both being well known as being part of notably non-religious organisations.

Which to most people would in itself make their inclusion extremely odd but there we go: so are you.

Clearly you're unable to provide an answer as to why you would even mention them. That's OK: I just wish you had said.
