I understand that humanistic means something being centered on human beings (but not on God for example). If you are humanistic then you are not doing things which could cause harm to people. Most important value for you is human being (his well being, happiness, health, etc...).

Imagine that you are some big leader who can decide people's destinies. If you are humanistic leader then you will not sacrifice one person for the sake of the group of people. (Do I understand it right?)

Religious means centered on God. Most important value for you is God. In The Bible there was a situation when God asked Israelites to kill everyone who refused to leave the land of Promise voluntarily, but Israelites were too humanistic and did not listen to God.

In my opinion to be humanistic is second highest level of morality after being Religious in a true sense (meaning not sticking to just your religion, but meaning that the highest value for you is God)

Example: (His happiness, His feelings, His law etc...)

It is just my narrow understanding of humanistic theory.
