What kind of world do humanists want? Humanists believe responsibility for building a better and fairer world falls on human beings alone. 1 One Life, One Planet Wrongs won’t be put right in another life after this one, so we need to work for justice and happiness for all in the here and now. 2 Democracy, human rights, freedom, equality, and education provide the best means to support human beings to live full and flourishing lives. 3 Humanists UK humanists.uk

How do humanists find meaning in life? Humanists believe that life’s meaning is not given to us, but that human beings can create meaning and happiness themselves. 1 Humanists find purpose in relationships, creativity, helping others, and making a positive impact on the world around us. 2 Each person’s path is different. Humanists support everyone’s right to think for themselves and shape their own life. 3 Humanists UK humanists.uk
