    I have been a atheist for years, I believe in atheism because god(s) never came to me and spoke, also god only separates people from happiness, poor to rich, slaves to kings. I believe that atheism can unite people and make a better tomorrow for humanity!!!

    -does this make me a Humanist

    Also I heard it is a cult???
    ...is this true

    Thanks!

    Humanism is far from a cult. It is a secular humanitarian and rationalist philosophy developed in the Renaissance. Humanism means placing the needs and importance of humans and other sentient beings above any sort of gods or other supernatural beings. Your views sound reasonably humanistic to me.
