Access to contraception gives people greater control over their bodies and their futures. Reproductive freedom means being able to decide whether and when to become pregnant. Contraception is part of that freedom, and access to it should never depend on income, geography, or others’ beliefs.

Canada’s secular foundation helps protect everyone’s freedom of belief, including the freedom not to believe. Religious freedom works best when government does not favour one faith over another, or religion over nonreligion.

Humanist Canada @humanistcanada.ca · 24/09/2026

People often ask where nonreligious people get their morality, as though religion were the only possible foundation for right and wrong. We look at how moral thinking can develop outside religion through reflection on how our choices affect other people.

Humanist Canada @humanistcanada.ca · 23/09/2026

We will never all think alike, live alike, or move through the world in the same way. Precisely because those differences are part of being human, they can never be a reason to deny someone dignity or belonging.

Building a more humane world means taking seriously the conditions people actually live under and asking whether our institutions and public choices make those lives safer, freer and more dignified. When they fall short, we have a responsibility to question them and work toward something better.

Change can be unsettling, but so can refusing to change. Bertrand Russell understood that human flourishing depends on our capacity to respond to the world as it is becoming rather than simply preserving the world as it was. #Humanism #QuoteOfTheDay

Secularism supports human rights, advances scientific progress, protects religious freedom, and upholds the separation of church and state. As a nonprofit humanist organization, we envision a secular Canadian society guided by reason, science, and compassion.

As our understanding of the world evolves, so do the questions we ask about meaning, morality, purpose, and how we ought to live. For philosopher Rebecca Goldstein, these are questions that deserve careful thought, open inquiry, and a willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
