Our policies

“Humanism is about the world, not about humanism” - Harold Blackham.

Humanists indeed take a stand on many societal issues always with full respect of fundamental rights.

The Humanist View of Society

In this section, we adress the place of religion in society, from a humanist point of view, define our project for Europe and re affirm our commitment to the Rule of law. 

Human Rights & Non-Discrimination

Humanists are deeply committed to human rights and non-discrimination on all grounds. In particular, we defend freedom of religion and beliefs which includes the right not to believe and we also attach a great importance to defend human rights when they are under threat.  

Education

For humanists education a matter of high importance. On this page we set out our fundamental policy and  provide links to some pages dealing with the matter in more detail. 

The family

Some  people choose to live together and to found a family without marrying.

Start and End of Life 

The difference between a  secularist/humanist outlook and a religious one is often very plain in matters concerning the beginning and end of life.

Here you will find information about the humanist view on bio-ethics, abortion, euthanasia and death penalty. 

Drugs

One of the most intractable  problems facing society is the use of drugs, both legal and illegal, for  other than medical purposes. We observe the failure of current repressive policies and propose a new approach on drugs based decriminalisation and damage reduction. 

Public sector broadcasting

We defend the protection of the public service broadcasting and the subsidies that sustain it and fight against any further liberalisation of this sector.
