Help us keep the conversation going: a letter from our Founding Editor

By David Brittain

David was the inspiration behind Humanistically Speaking which was launched in January 2020. We've come a long way and we're now approaching our 7th anniversary!

Humanistically Speaking is a magazine with a difference. We promote humanist values while recognising that not everyone shares the same beliefs or worldview. We welcome contributions from people of different faiths and philosophies, encouraging open dialogue, independent thinking and mutual understanding.

At a time when public debate is becoming increasingly polarised, we believe it is more important than ever to listen to people with whom we disagree. Differences of opinion need not lead to division. Indeed, they can provide opportunities to question our assumptions, broaden our understanding and discover common ground.

If you value this approach, would you consider supporting Humanistically Speaking with a regular donation of just £3 a month?

None of our team of volunteers is paid a salary but we do, of course, have some running costs such as maintaining our website and insurance. Your contribution will help us develop Humanistically Speaking, secure its existence into the future, reach new readers and continue providing a platform for thoughtful humanist discussion across religious, philosophical and political divides.

We are grateful to everyone who already supports us, whether through donations, contributions or simply by reading and sharing our articles.

If you would like to become a regular supporter, please visit our Donate page.

Thank you for helping us keep the conversation going.
