Humanism, Theocratism, Rationality

The liberation of Humanism from Theocratism has not been as decisive as its equivalence to Secularism seems to suggest.  For, one of its defining characteristics of Humankind is Rationality, but, as is evinced by the various arguments known as 'proofs of the existence of God', which continue to have their advocates centuries after the Medieval era, Rationality and Supernaturalism are not necessarily mutually exclusive.  So, in at least some varieties of Humanism, it is not Theocratism per se that is eliminated, but, rather dogmatic Theocratism.
