Is humanistic judaism a recognized sect of the Jewish religion?

Answer 1

Humanistic Judaism is new as an organized group (it began in 1963), and while other non-orthodox sects refrain from officially condemning it, they generally do not see it as a religious denomination, but more of a social denomination.

Due to the high rate of intermarriage, and the lax rules for conversion (in some cases non-existent), most individual Jews of other sects do not recognize humanistic Judaism as valid. Some Jewish sociologists believe that in a few generations, the members of humanistic Judaism won't even identify themselves with mainstrain Judaism.
