[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because all people can be moral and do the right thing for other people and because these people can be motivated by different religions or no religion at all, it seems pretty clear that it is not a particular supernatural belief system that is the underlying cause of their behavior.

The one thing they all have in common is that they are human, thus it's logical that it's their humanity that is the ultimate motivator[/quote]

You keep making the same logical fallacy: a type of [b]syllogism[/b]. Your flawed reasoning could also be put into some other logical fallacy buckets (e.g., starting premise that is not universally shared), but let's stick to your syllogisms.

You say:  
-- Cats and dogs are both animals. I have a pet animal. Therefore, my cat is actually a dog.  
-- Shacks and mcmansions are both dwellings. I live in a dwelling. Therefore, my shack is actually a mcmansion.
-- Religion and humanism are both sources of motivation for humans. Ghandi was a human and he was motivated to do good works. Therefore, he must be a humanist and not a religious person.

It's amazing that you keep attributing "motivations" to people who wrote and spoke very clearly and eloquently about their own motivations. If Gandhi were a secular humanist, he would have written about that. Instead, he wrote very eloquently about his spirituality.

You really need to stop putting words into the mouths of people like Gandhi....

did you notice that you are putting words into my mouth?  I'm offering explanations for any humans who are motivated to do the same kind of good things for humanity by different conscious motivators, suggesting that they originate from a common source - our innate morality.[/quote]
