Humanists have been a major force in British life since the turn of
the 20th century. Here, leading historians of religious non-belief
Callum Brown, David Nash, and Charlie Lynch examine how humanist
organisations brought ethical reform and rationalism to the nation
as it faced the moral issues of the modern world. This book
provides a long overdue account of this dynamic group. Developing
through the Ethical Union (1896), the Rationalist Press Association
(1899), the British Humanist Association (1963) and Humanists UK
(2017), Humanists sought to reduce religious privilege but increase
humanitarian compassion and human rights. After pioneering
legislation on blasphemy laws, dignity in dying and abortion
rights, they went on to help design new laws on gay marriage, and
sex and moral education. Internationally, they endeavoured to end
war and world hunger. And with Humanist marriages and celebration
of life through Humanist funerals, national ritual and culture have
recently been transformed. Based on extensive archival and
oral-history research, this is the definitive history of Humanists
as an ethical force in modern Britain.
