BBC to Consult Humanists on Religion

The BBC has announced that humanists will be consulted on religious broadcasting. This follows on from similar positive actions, such as the addition of Humanism to the GCSE Religious Studies syllabus.

These are important statements about the country as it is today. We are finally seeing recognition of the fact that there are many humanists, atheists and agnostics in modern Britain,
"Surveys indicate that at least a third of the population of Britain are agnostic or atheist, and about 36% of the population also share the positive moral values of humanism and the British Humanist Association. "
Clearly, we are not a minority!

We have the right for our voices to be heard, just as much as any religious group does. So, thanks to the BBC for another step in the right direction towards giving us all the freedom to talk about, debate and discuss religious differences. And it's also fantastic that our kids will be able to do so in an informed way!
