‘Humanism is an ethics of fellowship. Among those who work and serve together it is about loyalty, service, self-sacrifice, and commitment. It is about the mutual trust that forges the strong and enduring bonds of comradeship that underlie our duty to one another and our community.‘Humanism crosses all barriers that other outlooks put up between people. It is an ethics premised on our shared humanity, and therefore with generosity and comradeliness brings us closer together. Without dogmas but with a profound belief in our duty to our fellows, it unites rather than divides, and strengthens us all.’Professor AC Grayling, Defence Humanists Patron
