We'll also be sharing our 'How humanist are you?' quiz to encourage more people who already have humanist beliefs and values, but who potentially haven't encountered the term 'humanist' before. There are millions of us worldwide! humanists.uk/humanism/how-huβ¦

Some rational words from the science editor of The Times at least!

The #Census2021 results, and the rise of the non-religious, matter because it points to a different, and more progressive future and way of governance, says @andrewcopson. We ought to do away with these anachronistic hangovers β e.g. bishops in the Lords, collective worship laws.

Great to hear our patron, @alomshaha, speaking on @AndrewMarr9 about his own experiences of leaving faith behind. As we know through our service @faith2faithless, Alom's experience is one that is so often shared among young people today.

Thank you to the @BishopStAlbans for just now calling for the immediate recognition of humanist marriages in the House of Lords by statutory order.
We appreciate the support the Church of England has shown for legal humanist marriages in England and Wales. #LordsQs

Astonishing growth in the non-religious population, according to the #Census2021. The no. of non-religious people jumped by over 8m, from 25%-37%. 'This Census result should be a wake-up call which prompts fresh reconsiderations of the role of religion in society', @andrewcopson
ALT 'The law has failed to keep up with the pace of change, and as a result, the enormous non-religious population in England and Wales face everyday discrimination - from getting local school places to receiving appropriate emotional support in hospitals. This Census results should be a wake-up call which prompts fresh reconsiderations of the role of religion in society.'

The #Census21 data on religion has been released. It is important to recognise that for the first time in the census, most people don't have a Christian identity.
It's time for change...

Over recent years, we have enjoyed Jolabokaflod, an Icelandic tradition which involves the exchange of wrapped books with a small bar of chocolate. It means we often receive books that we might never think of reading, so feel free to bring along a wrapped book with a chocolate.
