Andrew Copson Chief exec Humanism UK wrote:Today we learned that after years of hard, consistent work with the Welsh Government to improve the national law on Religious Education, we have achieved our goal, and from 2022, the law in Wales will require humanism to be taught about in all schools.

This is an enormous achievement for Humanists UK and the hard work of Wales Humanists coordinator Kathy Riddick in particular. It follows on from our recent legal victory over Vale of Glamorgan, which resulted in the Welsh Government telling all councils to end discrimination against humanists.

1. Humanism is ethical. It affirms the worth, dignity and autonomy of the individual and the right of every human being to the greatest possible freedom compatible with the rights of others. Humanists have a duty of care to all of humanity including future generations. Humanists believe that morality is an intrinsic part of human nature based on understanding and a concern for others, needing no external sanction.

3. Humanism supports democracy and human rights. Humanism aims at the fullest possible development of every human being. It holds that democracy and human development are matters of right. The principles of democracy and human rights can be applied to many human relationships and are not restricted to methods of government.

5. Humanism is a response to the widespread demand for an alternative to dogmatic religion.
