What is humanism? Humanism is a non-religious approach to life, centred on living a meaningful, ethical life based on reason and compassion. Humanists see the universe as a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and look to science to answer questions about the natural world. Humanists believe this life is the only life we have, so they focus on living well in the here and now, guided by empathy and our shared humanity.

"Every thinking person fears nuclear war, and every technological state plans for it. Everyone knows it is madness, and every nation has an excuse." -Carl Sagan, Cosmos

"If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.  Today it’s 0.7%.  Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why.  Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

A Palestinian mother in Gaza: “My children have become skeletal, skin and bone. Even the slightest effort makes them dizzy. They are asking for food, and I have nothing to give. I can’t lie and say I’ll bring them something when I know I won’t be able to.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

For months Israel kept food shipments to Gaza far below starvation rations. Now the death toll is rising rapidly

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Ζούμε την εποχή του απόλυτου τυχοδιωκτισμού, όπου θέσεις μεταλλάσσονται αναλόγως ακροατηρίου και συνθηκών. Ενός τυχοδιωκτισμού που εμπεδώνει πως τα αυτονόητα δεν είναι και τόσο αυτονόητα τελικά. www.kathimerini.com.cy/gr/apopseis/...

Το τέλος του καθωσπρεπισμού
Eνα ηλεκτρονικό έντυπο εγγραφής μαθητών, όπου αναγραφόταν η ορολογία γονέας 1 και γονέας 2, ήταν αρκετό για να γυρίσει η πολιτική συζήτηση σε ορολογίες του 1960.

Κρίμα και άδικο να χάνονται γυναίκες στη γέννηση του παιδιού τους στον 21 αιώνα. Τα συλλυπητήρια μου στην οικογένεια, στον σύζυγο και τα παιδιά της. Αιώνια θάναι η μνήμη της στις καρδιές όλων μας που θα συνεχίσουμε να παλεύουμε για τον Ακάμα και την επανένωση του τόπου μας που τόσο ήθελε.
