Our numbers are large and growing
Between a quarter and a half of the population of Europe has no religious belief.
The proportion is very low in a few countries; in others it exceeds 50%. But in all countries the number of unbelievers has grown significantly over past decades and continues to grow. And most people who reject religion adhere to humanist values, because they are those natural to humankind, derived through our evolution as social animals and our conscious experience of living together in communities.
The websites of our Member Organisations offer much detailed information about the philosophy and history of Humanism and secularism (laicité), as does the website of the worldwide organisation, the International Humanist and Ethical Union.
