What is the greatest form of humanism? [Spirituality & Religion]

“Christianity is the greatest humanism that has ever appeared, indeed that could ever appear. No philosophical or political or religious program in history – neither Greek nor Renaissance nor Marxist humanism – has ever made a claim about human destiny as extravagant as Christianity’s. We are called not simply to moral perfection or artistic self-expression or economic liberation but to what the Eastern fathers called theiosis, transformation into God.” ~ Bishop Robert Barron, in Catholicism – a Journey to the Heart of the Faith , pg. 2 http://amzn.to/1DXgm2o

"... a doctrine, attitude, or way of life centered on human interests or values; especially : a philosophy that usually rejects supernaturalism and stresses an individual's dignity and worth and capacity for self-realization through reason"

You act as though Moses came down from the mountain with a definition of "Humanism", he put bold fonts on it --and that is the end of the discussion.
