Does not relativist come pretty close to opportunist?
Humanism is not just a philosphy. It's also a way of living.

Perhaps, but it's a very broad description.
Opportunist usually has a slightly pejorative edge to it also - the implication is that they take advantage of situations for their own gain, sometimes at the expense of others.


An opportunist could excuse his ways by seeing himself as a relativist. I see a relativist and opportunist are not synonym, like you pointed out the differences.
So we're back at word matters.
