📢 Important news from the Scottish Parliament today. MSPs have voted to pass Stage 1 of the Children (Withdrawal from Religious Education and Amendment of UNCRC Compatibility Duty) Bill. But there's still crucial work to do. As it stands, the Bill does not yet give children an independent right to withdraw from religious observance, a key requirement for meeting UNCRC standards and for genuinely respecting young people’s freedom of thought.

📣 The proposed Religious Observance Bill won't let Scottish pupils opt out of religious worship in schools without parental permission. We think young people should have the independent right to say no to religious worship. Some people have confused Religious Observance (worship) with Religious and Moral Education (RME). Just to be clear — we strongly support RME. It’s important that pupils learn about different beliefs. We don't think it should be optional. 🎥 Here’s our CEO explaining why we

"Acts of worship should have no place in state schools... forced observance is incompatible with Article 14 of the UNCRC, which says: 'I have the right to have my own thoughts and beliefs, and to choose my religion.'" MSP Maggie Chapman spoke out on behalf of Scotland's young people at the recent Holyrood debate about the Religious Observance Bill. While it passed to the next stage, it does not yet give young people an independent right to opt in or out of religious worship at school. We believe

📢 Right now, Scottish pupils can only skip religious observance in school if their parents sign them out, even if they’re old enough to decide for themselves. It's unfair and outdated. The Scottish Government’s new Bill could fix this, but as it stands, it doesn’t go far enough. ✍️ Take two minutes to email your MSP today and demand that all pupils get the independent right to opt out. 👉 https://humanist.eaction.org.uk/religious-observance Let’s make sure young people’s rights and beliefs are

Love this 😅 Great to see the legendary physicist and humanist Richard Feynman get a mention too. The Feynman quote he's talking about: 'Nobody understands quantum mechanics' refers to the impossibility of grasping quantum phenomena using 'everyday' common-sense intuition. In the original Cornell University 1964 lecture (we'll post a link), Feynman elaborates: 'I'm going to tell you what nature behaves like and if you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a de
