To humanists, science heightens our appreciation of the world. Knowing that we are part of – not separate from – a vast and magnificent ecosystem puts our lives in perspective. We are all related, and this is our home: evolution tells us that all life on Earth can be traced back to a common origin around 3.5 billion years ago.

This idea, as outlined here by David Attenborough, is the second of seven humanist foundations in Andrew Copson's new book. Link in comments.

Conversion practices are abuse. And right now, they’re still legal in every part of the UK.

The law should be on the side of victims, not those who peddle coercive practices. That means a full ban: strong, trans-inclusive, and free of loopholes.

We won’t stop until every LGBT+ person is protected and can live freely, without fear.

No one should be told they can’t be who they are, or love who they love.

Conversion practices targeting vulnerable people belong in the history books. Yet the Government STILL hasn’t banned them, and they remain legal in every part of the UK.

These aren’t therapy. From coercive so-called ‘therapy’ to ‘exorcisms’, they leave lasting scars. They are abuse.

Happy National Coming Out Day to everyone who’s come out, is thinking about it, or isn’t ready yet. Whenever and however you do it, you deserve to be celebrated.

LGBT+ people deserve to come out, stay out, and live happy lives. But across the UK, conversion practices are still being used to push people back in.

Ban conversion practices.

In 2024 the UK Government created a loophole in the law that would allow new 100% religiously selective faith schools to open. They said 'Don't worry, it won't be used in practice'. We didn't believe them. And now here we are.

Children of different backgrounds should be educated together, not divided by others' religions.

Blasphemy laws can NEVER be justified. Sign our petition.

Blasphemy laws are used to ban words or symbols that are ‘offensive’ to religion. They’re used to violently suppress and attack religious and non-religious minorities worldwide.

She wrote all that code by hand and it landed on the moon. Such an iconic photo.

Here’s to Margaret Hamilton (1936–2026). What an incredible and pioneering woman for science.

An inspiration to us all. Link in comments.

For humanists, caring for nature isn't left to a higher power. It's down to us – because we're part of nature, not apart from it.
