Human ingenuity changing lives. Well done to all those involved!

The scientific method is our most reliable tool for understanding nature, explaining the world, and uncovering truths about the universe. For humanists, it not only offers answers – it also sparks profound questions and wonder. Find out in our #Thatshumanism videos narrated by Stephen Fry.

'Death is a natural part of life. It makes sense for us to try not to be afraid of this, but instead to come to terms with it. Then we can focus on finding meaning and purpose in the here and now, making the most of the one life we know we have.' Stephen Fry in that #thatshumanism.

The article mentions that Rayner "purchased a second home for over £700,000," but calling her a three-home owner is misleading since Admiralty House is a ministerial residence. She fulfilled her tax obligations, and the claims of hypocrisy seem more about appearances than legal wrongdoing.

‘Humanists do not see that there is any obvious purpose to the universe, but that it is a natural phenomenon with no design behind it. Meaning is not something out there waiting to be discovered, but something that we create in our own lives.' Our patron Stephen Fry in #Thatshumanism 👌

Humanists see the universe as a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and look to science to answer questions about the natural world. Humanists believe this life is the only life we have, so they focus on living well in the here and now, guided by empathy and our shared humanity ❤️

Today is day one of #thatshumanism! 🎉 – our popular social media campaign featuring our much-loved animations with Stephen Fry. To celebrate, we're launching a brand-new series of posters designed for schools, teachers, and anyone curious about the humanist approach to life. 🧵

This research reinforces what we’ve long known to be true: that children can grow up to be kind, ethical, and fulfilled without religion playing any part in their lives. Wonderful to read about children's natural curiosity for science, capacity for compassion, and awe in the natural world.

Publication day! So happy that this is finally out in the world. Thanks so much to the team @princetonupress.bsky.social and everyone else who has helped it and us along the way!

the space @tate.bsky.social was just so amazing for the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt. Reverential, still devastating. So many visibly moved by the art, love, compassion, and reminder of those taken far too soon. Am so glad it had this deservedly splendid showing 🙏🏼👏🏼💕 @positiveeast.bsky.social
