Hello JBR
Like other organisations such as The British Diabetic Association, Humanism UK changed its name from The British Humanist Association a few years ago
A large part of its activities involves campaigning for things like removing the dominant or privileged status of religions in schools, where it is in effect indoctrination, and society in general; removal of the automatic right of bishops to sit in the House of Lords; to allow assisted dying; freedom of speech; and so on
Sometimes representatives of Humanism UK appear on TV debates & programmes, often leading to arguments with religious leaders
Humanism UK also provides non religious spokespeople for funerals, remembrance & commemorative events, etc
So yes, to carry out those campaigns they need funds
I was brought up as nominal CofE, but as I left school and became more independent I realised I was an atheist, and have stayed with that ever since; and I joined Humanism UK a few months ago; I thought it was money well spent
I've read some of the comments in your Posts on this and older Threads; perhaps you could have a browse through Humanism UK's website?
