Hope to get to the Humanists UK conference next year in Cardiff #Humanists2024 - not too far from sunny Bath.
And hope to catch up with friends/colleagues including Andrew Copson Dr Adam Rutherford Prof Alice Roberts💙 Jim Al-Khalili Imtiaz Shams.
The awesome Alom Shaha on LBC talking about Faith to Faithless and our work helping those who have left faith - and the new census showing the move away from religion in the UK.

Nuanced, thoughtful movement building panel w Muhammad Syed (PBUM), Imtiaz Shams, Shirlee Draper, and Malkie Schwartz. What stands out to me most are the throughlines, the way the experience of leaving high control religious groups is so, so analogous across religions and demographics.
Mark your calendars! I'll be at the Rights and Religions 2022 conference--Oct 22 in Washington DC--alongside Imtiaz Shams, Muhammad Syed (PBUM), and tons of other great speakers!

As an Ex-Muslim & fellow Humanist who spends much of my time in Buffalo & upstate NY, this is disturbing.
Wishing Salman Rushdie the human rights advocate and our Humanists UK patron a fast recovery.
Ideas =/= people's lives, it's 2022.

Awesome new video from Imtiaz Shams and ex-convert Emily. Emily was 14 when she converted to Islam. Very interesting to hear her parents' response. 1/2

For the first time ever, the world will have an apostasy hotline.
If you’ve got a friend, family member, partner, student, etc who’s left religion and is really struggling - there will be a free number to call.
Watch this space, follow Faith to Faithless & Humanists UK.
We help people who have left high-control religions or cults. So called 'apostates' are at risk of 'honour-based violence', isolation, homelessness, & death. Imtiaz Shams co-founded our service Faith to Faithless, and will be speaking in-depth on apostasy in the UK at #Humanists2022

If you ever bought into Dr Jordan B Peterson. Conversion therapy; where children & adults are forced into sessions to 'convert' them out of being gay (impossible), is disgusting. This banning by Justin Trudeau isn't moral grandstanding, it is moral.
Does God exist? @BBCAsianNetwork Big Debate, I'm on from 7:00.
Faith to Faithless & Humanists UK mentioned about our work with apostasy. #ExMuslim #God
