the humanist philosophy

i was reading a post on the views of a humanist, as to how to raise children without any religion.
It set me thinking, what makes humanist think that every thing under the sun can be explained by reason and that which is without reason and evidence is not true.
Many of them have moved into this way of life after being disappointed with their former religion.I myself have seen how religion can be very disappointing at times, especially when our questioning seems to echo back, with no answers for why and what is happening , but i strongly believe relying entirely on reasoning is limiting our belief.
Humanists on the contrary believe religion to be the limiting factor, which many times it is if we don't believe in conversing with the God we believe, when it is only one sided, when we fear some punishment for disobedience etc.
But going by ones own reasoning which is highly versatile and basing your belief entirely on evidence , again is entirely versatile, because seeing evidence is situational,
and more so believing that science and reason has solution for all, is like trusting only what man has been able to discover so far and that to come in future.
But moments when these same scientists failed to give reasons for what they have discovered or encountered- how do you account that?
Man's sense of reasoning out is highly situational.If perchance in a fit of bad temper or bad mood the scientist decides to use his discovery against mankind, who would account for the loss of life.

Religions and philosophy based entirely on reasoning have never been able to give explanations for the incomprehensible.

At the same time a religion should not be a binding but rather a delivering medium.
Questioning and interpreting is part of a healthy belief system.

The bible itself contains many portions that seem to offer no explanations.
The old testament can be easily misinterpreted, but the teachings of Christ talk about love, forgiveness, sacrifice, .

Faith and reasoning can work together but sometimes faith needs to transcend reasoning.Even when the skies are gray you sometimes need to have faith that there is silver lining being masked by the dark clouds though sight offers a different view.
When our hopes are utterly lost and our own vision has grown dim only then we will see the sight of God.
It requires our emptying for Him to fill us.
Have u ever reached a stage where you have seized from your own attempts and own reasoning, where your self dies.
Even the humanists will believe that every human being has ego.It is this which has to die.Even for christian His coming to Christ once upon a time is not enough , he needs to empty himself everyday not as a ritual or rule but as a involuntary process of living, which is very hard to do, that is the involuntary nature thats were we need the help of Christ. self effort makes belief a law and forbids freedom.
Beginning of the death of self is the beginning of the knowledge of God.
But the death should be for deliverance.
