I'm not convinced liberal humanism isn't a contradiction in terms. I don't want anybody telling me how to live my life regardless of whether they wear a collar or call themselves a humanist. My favourite word is freethinker, which seems more inclusive, positive and intrinsic to liberal democracy.

So to be a humanist you have to be a socialist?
