The Sum of Awe
Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
So, just always wondered but never been brave enough to ask (and too lazy to see if it has been asked yet) why the Humanism sub-DIR is in the Non-Theistic DIR when there are plenty of theistic humanists to say humanism isn't strictly non-theistic.
I always guessed that this DIR was specifically focusing on Secular Humanism, which brings two questions: why is it not specified "Secular" in the title? And why is there not another DIR for Non-secular Humanistic branches?
By that definition, I would say I'm a theistic humanist. I believe in God, pantheistically (possibly with necessary extended detail) and I do at the same time find that humanity can and should better the world on its own without interference from God (not counting that being a part of God is somewhat divine intervention; needn't a door to be a window).
By others, I question if the title fits right. But as far as many definitions go for the term, I would say I'm a humanist and I'm a theist.

Belief that humans can better the world by simply human means. Reason, logic, science, etc... There is no need for god. Alot also believe that humans are the greatest beings on the planet.
