Guiding lights in humanism

Not sure how long this site has been up there on the WWW, but take a look. It’s called The Really Simple Guide to . . . Humanism (not sure of the purpose of the ellipsis, but there you go; maybe it’s a kind of ta-da), and its front page tells us:

The really simple guide to . . . Humanism has been created to inform interested newcomers to Humanism. The series offers simple answers to the most frequently asked questions about Humanism and the opportunity to think about them and learn more.

There’s a short video there with the likes of A. C. Grayling and Polly Toynbee telling you why they think humanism is a good thing. But there’s plenty else on the site, so make up your own mind. And pass it on to friends who are curious about a life without a belief in sky fairies.

It’s a very attractive site, easy to use, and all the information you’ll need to see life from a humanist point of view is easy to find and eminently readable, without being patronising.

Post a Comment

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
