Humanism is not a religious movement; it is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings. While it can have elements that align with certain religious worldviews, it is a distinct perspective that prioritizes reason, compassion, and human flourishing without necessarily invoking supernatural beliefs or practices.
As you wrote it (e.g. haminist), this would refer to a non-religious person who specializes in preparing and curing ham. If you meant to ask about "secular humanism", it is an ethical tradition of how people should treat each other based purely on values derived from social interaction, such as respecting people's rights and enforcing people's responsibilities.
It greatly varies. Some believe in evolution, others believe in a God but not one who wishes to be served. Some non-religious people even believe in reincarnation, though this is rare as most people believing in reincarnation are religious. The most usual alternative to religion is called secular humanism, which asserts that we human beings have our own intrinsic meaning and value, and we should believe in ourselves; we do not need to derive meaning from supernatural beings such as God. There are also some non-religious people who simply do not believe in anything, which is a philosophy called nihilism (from the Latin; nihil means nothing).
Humanism and religion both address questions about the meaning and purpose of life, ethics, and how individuals should live. However, humanism focuses on human values, potential, and well-being without the need for supernatural beliefs, while religion often incorporates beliefs in a higher power, divine guidance, and spiritual practices. Both can provide frameworks for understanding the world and shaping individuals' beliefs and behaviors.
Unitarian Universalism maintains that a person can learn the truth about life through the power of reason. They emphasize individual thought, reason, and personal experience in seeking truth and meaning in life.

I tend to think that we have enough religions now and We do not need any more new religion.
The plague was so catastrophic that it led many people to one of two conclusions: Either God is very angry at us or there is no God. When the church was unable to to stop the plague many took this as a sign that religion was no longer valid and that people should look to each other for the solutions to life's problems. Of course, the plague also saw the polar opposite in the rise of very intensely religious groups as well.
