Whilst I’m in favour of the result, how is it possible for a humanist viewpoint to be classified as a religious belief?

Why not? Religious freedoms are about deeply held beliefs. It's not like a judge will evaluate the bible or quran to check if something is or isn't a religious freedom based on what someone's deity of choice supposedly stated.

Because it’s not religious. Under the lemon clause the government has to make a distinction between religious and secular beliefs.

Also, if humanism is being classified this way, why not transhumanism?
