'We're very unusual [in the UK] in having state-funded faith schools that select pupils on religious grounds... you wouldn't have it in any other public service. State-funded segregation... seems shocking.' Andrew Copson humanists.uk/2025/04/28/hum…

The election of a councillor advocating for gender segregation underscores the real tension between rising religious fundamentalism and liberal secular values. Sectarianism in politics is going to pose a significant challenge for our country. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

Always remember a Muslim speaker at one of our events who said “but why would you want to offend” and couldn’t believe it could possibly be justified. Extremists like this (and those who spout violence against them) are all wrong uns.

We've warned that if this prosecution for burning a Quran in protest is successful, it would effectively subvert the will of Parliament and re-establish blasphemy laws in England and Wales by the back door. humanists.uk/2025/05/09/cps…

#Iran's Supreme Court has upheld a death sentence on blasphemy charges handed down to a pop singer whom #Turkey had extradited at Tehran’s request. buff.ly/TH15U3s

When we speak of 'rehabilitation', we should mean empowering individuals & restoring their autonomy. The global community has a responsibility to challenge this clear infringement of human rights. theguardian.com/global-develop…

I’ve just written to my MP to ask them to support assisted dying. I just can’t face the idea that some people will suffer at the end of their lives without choice, compassion or dignity. Please write to your MP today. #AssistedDyingBill @humanists_UK humanists.uk/action/support…

This treatment at the hands of any church for faithful Christians who act & vote, after debate, thought & prayer, in their elected office with an informed conscience is very troubling:

Well done Chris. Religious (and non) belief should be respected, religious dogma should be called out for the abuse of power that it is.

Peers from all parties took the government to task yesterday over continued failure to legally recognise humanist marriages in England and Wales. They want concrete answers and a clear plan of action, not more delays. humanists.uk/2025/07/01/cro…

Cartoonists held in Turkey for depicting Mohammed and ‘Musa’. If this depicts the Islamic prophet then we are all fashion models! Sadly usual extremist religious outrage turning into a witch hunt. jns.org/cartoonists-he… via Jewish News Syndicate

Christian MP calls for “re-founding” of UK on biblical teachings.⚠️ This kind of fire-and-brimstone evangelism is better suited to the pulpit than to Parliament. Secularism, rather than Christianity, is the best guardian of liberal democracy. secularism.org.uk/news/2025/07/c…

A new report by British Future and @belongnetwork has confirmed the need to challenge religious segregation in education. secularism.org.uk/news/2025/07/n…

You can think his actions weren’t appropriate and also think he shouldn’t be prosecuted. Not mutually exclusive so good luck in this appeal.
