I’m often asked why as an atheist I teach RE, luckily @Humanists_UK asked me so in future I can just refer people to this

We spoke to @Lisa_0Connor – member of the National Association of Teachers of Religious Education (NATRE) Executive. We discussed why good RE is vital, how to make it inclusive, and why humanism should be taught about as a positive non-religious approach to life. @HumanismEdu
