Humanists UK
We advance free thinking and promote humanism to create a tolerant society where rational thinking and kindness prevail.
- Zona Vallance, a founding figure of Humanists UK, was born #OnThisDay 1860. Zona was our inaugural secretary – a role equivalent to today’s Chief Executive, held by @andrewcopson.bsky.social – and a suffragette, writer, and powerful public lecturer. 🧵 heritage.humanists.uk/zona-vallance/
- Humanists are people who shape their own lives in the here and now, because they believe it's the only life they have. Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence. Find out if you're a humanist today, take our little quiz. humanists.uk/humanism/how...

- Many people are humanists without knowing it. If you are non-religious and look to science, reason, empathy, and compassion in order to live an ethical and meaningful life, consider doing our quiz to see if you're a humanist too. humanists.uk/humanism/how...
- BREAKING: Religious Education (RE) in Northern Ireland is set for significant overhaul. It will no longer be exclusively Christian or controlled by the four largest churches, and will be subject to a comprehensive review led by education professionals. A huge success for our campaign! 🧵
- For most of human history, evolution shaped us. Now, we shape it.

- The #AssistedDying Bill now has 1,227 proposed amendments – more than any other Bill in UK Parliament history. Peers have set the Bill up to fail. This is filibustering and it distracts from the real task, getting the safeguards right and delivering a law that works. humanists.uk/2026/02/02/a...
