To Be Reasonable: Popular Humanism and Why It Matters (Glasgow)

What does it mean to be a humanist in 21st-century Scotland—and why does it matter now more than ever?

Join Fraser Sutherland, Chief Executive of Humanist Society Scotland, as he explores the growing relevance of popular humanism in public life. Fraser will reflect on how values like reason, compassion and freedom of thought are essential for navigating the challenges of modern society.

Complimentary tea and coffee will be available, with an optional donation welcome.

Hosted by Glasgow Humanists.
