Well, how about Dawkins telling us we're nothing but machines built by our genes to propagate themselves? How about Krauss telling us that we're "cosmically insignificant"? I don't consider either of these messages very humanistic, but maybe you've got a different take on it than I do.
I think humility is an important part of humanism. As I've said before in other topics, humanism doesn't mean that we
can solve all of our own problems, only that we have a responsibility to try.
