Speaking of humanism, lowercase.

As in recognizing one’s individual biological self.

Recognizing our social nature, the family of humanity, the need for cooperation.

Recognizing there are no skyhooks, no God out in the heavens guiding us, no metaphysical guides either - we are stuck with ourselves and must be responsible for ourselves.

It’s also about understanding that our god’s come from within our own hearts and minds, individual to each.

Accepting responsibility for oneself, no longer needing God to lean on.

After that it’s sharing variations, as complex or simple as one cares.

“As in recognizing one’s individual biological self.” this is very interesting. What do you mean? Religions don’t help in recognizing one’s individual biological self?
