Answer:
It certainly is! Secular Humanism is simply acknowledging your moral compass, and acting on it.
It means acting in a morally correct manner, with respect for all people regardless of gender, race, age, or faith. But Humanism itself is not a faith: it is a way of life which has no need for gods. All it needs is for people to be nice to each other. That requires no faith. In fact, faith would hinder that.
The New Zealander Lloyd Gearing (a theologian and a reverend) clarifies what a humanist is: "Tomorrows God will have no hands but our hands, no voice but our voice, no mind but our mind, and no plan for the future except what we plan."
