Humanism is in part about how we live our lives, and how our lives connect with those of others.
Humanists are non-religious. We recognise that there is no one single way to live well, and that people differ in their interests, identities, and aspirations.

Humanism is about how we make sense of the world and about how we treat one another.
Humanists are non-religious. We aim to think honestly about what we know and don’t know, and to go where the evidence leads.

A humanist is a non-religious person who shapes their own life in the here and now, because they believe it's the one life they have. Humanists see no evidence to believe in gods or an afterlife. They try to do good for its own sake, without expectation of reward after death.
