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.

Have you read much Hitchens? I suggest you do. His assessment if Islam was brilliant and way ahead of his time.
He was more than 10 years ahead of everyone in predicting the current religious tensions created by radical Islam, he was a visionary and a genius that could analyze geopolitics with objectivity. More than Dawkins, Hawking or Einstein was he able to asses the true influencing factors in the world.
The only comparable is Chomsky imo, another notable visionary and objectivist. His analysis of the relationship between money, influence and legislation will be around for thousands of years.
