"Opinion polls and surveys show that humanist beliefs are now very widespread–that this life is the only one we know we have; that science and reason can explain the universe; that morality and meaning are human creations, not divine gifts. Although many people's world views are still fuzzy, with a range of different beliefs and values, many aspects of the humanist approach have become common sense. But there are still not many opportunities for people to encounter explicitly humanist ideas, framed as such. Messages I received from listeners to the podcast often said what a refreshing experience it had been to hear views they shared explained at length, sometimes for the first time in their lives."
