If you go back to the Renaissance humanists many of those were Christians as well. But were often against various things the Catholic Church had been doing at that time. Renaissance humanism - Wikipedia

I'd say you're right. A Christian is a Christ-follower! Someone who tries (with God's help) to emulate what God through Jesus would have us live. I've read "The Book" that talks about this.

There were Popes who were Christian humanists who I would assume were very familiar The Bible. I would consider the current Pope a Christian humanist as he puts people first over the Church or seems to. Pope Francis isn't a liberal. He's something more radical: a Christian humanist.

I get it, a humanist could be a Christian, but not an atheist. But, by the definition of each, a Christian could never be a humanist.

How are you right? I minored in Religious Studies and have a BA in History and one in Philosophy.

And you have the current Pope writing and talking about Christian Humanism. Pope Francis on Christian Humanism | Millennial

We can speak of humanism only from the centrality of Jesus, discovering in Him the features of man’s authentic face. It is the contemplation of the face of Jesus dead and risen that reconstructs our humanity.

Christian can be a Humanist, if that Christian places the needs of the person higher than the needs of the religion.

Show me any religion that puts the person ahead of god and I can show you a confused person. You cannot be a true Christian and put anything or anyone ahead of God in any way. please quote scripture that allows us to put God in second place.
