What do people in the UK believe

• What is a 'none'?

  The name given to the category of people who follow no religion is called a nones
• What is Spiritual but not religious (SBNR)?

  They might believe in a higher power but choose not to follow a religion. This cold be because they disagree with the teaching and texts of religion, or because they are put off by discrimination or violence done in the name of religion
• Somebody who is SBNR might be a 'spiritual shopper' creating a 'pick n mix' worldview. This means that they pick beliefs and ways of living from different religions to create their own individual way of viewing the world.
• What is humanism?


  Some atheists describe themselves as humanists. Humanists believe that there is no afterlife and so we should make of the one life that we have on Earth. They believe that we should use science and our reason, rather than religion, to understand the world. They also believe that we should show compassion to other people and so oppose discrimination and encourage equality.
