Our Campaigns
'Faith' Schools
We want pupils from all different backgrounds educated together in a shared environment, rather than separated according to the religious beliefs of their parents.

Take Action
Secularism
We want a country where institutions such as Parliament are separate from religious organisations, and everyone is treated equally, regardless of their beliefs.

Take Action
Equality & Human Rights
As humanists, we support the right of every person to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be allowed to speak, and believe, as they wish.

Take Action
Bishops in the House of Lords
26 Church of England Bishops sit as of right in the House of Lords, amending legislation. This unique privilege is unfair, unjustified and unpopular.

Take Action
Equal Marriage
We want to change the law so that when it comes to marriage and civil partnerships, all couples are treated alike, regardless of sexual orientation.

Take Action
Assisted Dying
We believe individuals should have a right to decide to end their life if they are suffering, and that relatives and doctors should be able to assist that person.

Take Action
Pseudoscience
NHS funding is spent on homeopathy, despite no evidence that it has health benefits beyond the placebo effect. This could be spent on other treatment.

Take Action
Animal Welfare
UK law requires that animals killed for food are stunned before slaughter, as this is the most humane method – except with religious slaughter such as kosher and some halal, where there are exemptions.
