Absolutely not - the threat to Christianity comes in the form of education alone. Same with all the Abrahamic religions. Religions prosper in places of low education and low income.
It has been said that the internet is the worst thing to have ever happened to religions, as it allows the free flow of information between us. The numbers show this to be true. In a time when religions have more money and resources than ever, are building giant churches with million dollar multi-media systems, and spending fortunes on advertising, their numbers are in decline everywhere.
I always advise people to educate themselves, first and foremost. Find out if their beliefs are simply a product of their indoctrination or if they truly believe the claims laid out by their chosen religion. Study the history of that religion, including the atrocities committed by them, study thing like their views on science (Judeo-Christian religions ((Judaism, Islam, and Christianity)) all have a strong anti-science history which continues to this day, as science is a massive threat to religions), and then actually read the holy book as well as books from the other side of the coin like God Delusion, Letter to a Christian Nation, etc.
After this, you will be able to make a well-informed decision on your beliefs and feel good about it - whatever position you come to.
The largest difference is obviously that secular humanism is a philosophy, while Christianity is a dogmatic religion. Secular humanism focuses upon humans for cultivating morality; Christianity teaches that God is responsible for man's morality and free will. Secular humanism wishes to transcend boundaries of dogma and parochial loyalties based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. Furthermore, secular humanist ethics/morals are subject to criticism and rational guidance, unlike dogmatic, unquestionable, god-inspired tenets of Christianity.
This is the symbol for secular humanism:

"Non-secular humanism" is generally referred to as plain old "humanism", which is much the same thing, but can include spirituality and lesser deist beliefs, such as agnosticism. It does not exclude secular humanists, but many are inclined to include the "secular" part in order to be clear on the atheistic nature of their moral and ethical beliefs.

According to the Wikipedia article on the subject:Secular humanism is a humanist philosophy that upholds reason, ethics, and justice, and specifically rejects the supernatural and the spiritual as the basis of moral reflection and decision-making. Like other types of humanism, secular humanism is a life stance that focuses on the way human beings can lead good, happy, and functional lives. The term "secular humanism" was coined in the 20th century to make a clear distinction from "religious humanism."
Secular Humanism is about using reason, ethics, and social justice and rejecting dogma and superstition.
