What is Humanism?

Humanism is a philosophy for every day, a set of ideas to help us live life well and make sense of the world. It is open to every single person. It does not depend on belief in God.

Come and hear Andrew Copson, Chief Executive of the British Humanist Association (BHA), explain what humanism is, its history and take on the world today.
