'Free though means fearless though. It is not deterred by legal penalties, nor by spiritual consequences. Dissent from the Bible does not alarm the true investigator, who take truth for authority not authority for truth.; George Jacob Holyoake. Secularist and Humanist.

George Jacob Holyoake, coiner of the word 'secularism', was born #onthisday 1817. He was also the last man to be tried by jury and imprisoned for blasphemy in England, arrested at a lecture in 1842 for suggesting 'the deity' be put on 'half pay' as the Government cut the pay of military officers.

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 living well in the here and now, guided by empathy and our shared humanity.

Throughout recorded history there have been non-religious people who have believed that this life is the only life we have, that the universe is a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and that we can live ethical and fulfilling lives on the basis of reason and humanity.
