Humanism is a concern and focus on human beings. Both the religious and the non-religious can care about others. But with a religious humanism, including a Christian humanism, the concern will first be with the god and obey the religion's rules and perhaps converting people to the religion. Then after all that, you might worry about the person starving to death. With a secular humanism your first concern is with the person starving. A religion will always put the god first, then people, even if the religion does care about the well being of other people. A secular humanism goes directly to caring about the person.
Petrarch is considered the father of humanism because he promoted the revival of classical learning and literature, emphasized the importance of individualism and human potential, and focused on the study of humanity and human experience. His writings and ideas laid the foundation for the humanist movement in the Renaissance.
