I wouldn't even view most of those people as humanists. They may have some humanist tendencies and be celebrated by humanist organisations, but I don't know that hey prescribed to the movement.
And (this isn't in response to you directly) my point isn't that each aspect of humanism is laughable, but that it as a whole (and specifically as a movement) is mostly ridiculous and ignorant.
