Humanists have played a significant role in British life since the turn of the 20th century, and this book provides a comprehensive account of their impact. 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. The book traces the development of Humanists through various organisations, including the Ethical Union (1896), the Rationalist Press Association (1899), the British Humanist Association (1963), and Humanists UK (2017). Humanists sought to reduce religious privilege while increasing humanitarian compassion and human rights. They pioneered legislation on blasphemy laws, dignity in dying, and abortion rights, and went on to help design new laws on gay marriage, sex and moral education, and international peace and world hunger. Humanist marriages and celebrations of life through Humanist funerals have also transformed national ritual and culture. Based on extensive archival and oral-history research, this is the definitive history of Humanists as an ethical force in modern Britain.
