Same here Mishap - I suppose I am a 'humanist' but I really do not need to give my way of life a name.
I've mentioned it before, but I do wonder how many more in the UK would respond to surveys as being not religious, if they had to pay compulsory tax to their affiliated religion, as is the case here in Switzerland. Here, if you say you are Catholic or Protestant on your official documents, a percentage of tax if automatically deducted and paid to your chosen Church. In my County, as well as in Geneva county (Canton), this was voted down recently, and a juge proportion of people who previously called themselves (cultural) Protestants or Catholics, suddenly dropped out (hypocritically still expecting the Church do marry and bury them, visit when sick or bereaved, etc).
If you had to pay compulsory tax to your CofE or Catholic Church - how many of you would continue to do so?
