1/5 The UK Govt has had the power to give legal recognition to humanist weddings since 2013, but last week failed to exercise that power – as it allowed outdoor marriages in England & Wales but excluded humanist weddings. @andrewcopson, explains...

Humanists are non-religious people who shape their own lives in the here and now because we believe it's the only life we have. A lot of people share humanist values without even knowing the term. Check out our quiz to see how you match up.
Tomorrow @bankofengland will launch a new Alan Turing £50 note. We'll be marking the day with a #Turing50Takeover.

If you're outraged by the Government's plans to 'enforce collective worship' in every school, please, sign our petition to replace compulsory collective worship in schools with inclusive assemblies instead. https://t.co/daT5ZOBmWA
Why does the Census say most people are Christian, when other surveys (such as the British Social Attitudes Survey) say 52% are not religious? @andrewcopson explains! #TickNoReligion#Census2021
'The Law Commission wants to see changes in England and Wales to marry at home, outdoors - and even remotely.'
This is a welcome step in the right direction towards the legalisation of humanist marriages in England and Wales.

Ahead of Parliament going into Recess, delighted to present a new @Humanists_UK Humanist Marriage Bill in @HouseofCommons which, if passed, would legalise humanist marriages in 🏴 & 🏴
Breaking: In response to our campaigning and public outcry, the Government has said that humanist weddings in England can be for up to 15 people (not just 6), putting them back on par with religious and civil ceremonies.
This takes effect immediately.

As a humanist celebrant this makes me so sad ... All couples who want a humanist wedding ceremony should be treated equally. The sooner the government realises that the better! #legalisehumanistweddings
New Government guidelines for England permit religious & civil marriages to have up to 15 people gathered, while humanist weddings are only permitted only 6. This is outrageous & discriminatory. Everyone should be treated equally. https://t.co/BaBtG2kTar
A humanist wedding is a non-religious celebration that is welcoming, inclusive, and personally tailored to you, focusing on your love story and things that are important to you as a couple.
