Humanistically Speaking’s global reach

Humanistically Speaking is produced by a team of humanist volunteers based in England, but its readership is increasingly international. Our latest website statistics reveal interest from across the globe, with visitors recorded from countries on every inhabited continent.

Unsurprisingly, the United Kingdom leads the way, with 4,696 recorded visits, followed by the United States (2,581). More intriguingly, Singapore comes third with 1,696, ahead of Canada (628), India (553) and Australia (414).

We're delighted by this international reach, although we confess to being slightly puzzled by Singapore's prominence! It may reflect genuine interest, but VPNs, automated traffic or other quirks of internet geography could also help explain the figure.

Beyond these leading countries, our statistics show visits from China, Germany, Nigeria, the Philippines, France, Switzerland, South Africa, the Netherlands, South Korea and many others.

These figures are a reminder that humanism is an international conversation. The questions we explore – about reason, ethics, human rights, community and living a good life – cross national and cultural boundaries.

As this issue brings together voices from around the world, it's heartening to know that our articles are finding an audience well beyond our own shores. Wherever you're reading from, thank you for being part of the conversation.
