what exactly is humanism?

The strict dictionary definition is a doctrine, attitude, or way of life centered on human interests or values; especially a philosophy that usually rejects supernaturalism and stresses an individual's dignity and worth and capacity for self-realization through reason.

I like the latter part of that since it is my personal philosophy as well. There is no proof for god or the supernatural, so why force us to live our lives as if such nonsense were real?

Humanism is essentially the finding of Godliness in Humanity and the rediscovery of literature and art for their own sake. See link below.

Humanism is not "against the Bible," in fact Humanism encourages the study of the assorted religious texts, as they do give excellent instruction in certain cultural and historical views.

Humanism *does* tend to reject religion (specifically the organized religions known at the start of the Renaissance in Europe), as they place no greater power over Humanity.

Good Luck!

Humanism is to reject religious beliefs and focus on values and worldly concerns.

(Romans 1:28 KJV) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

(Romans 1:30 KJV) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

(Romans 1:31 KJV) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
