Ralph: We must celebrate life

Thursday, 19, Feb 2009 11:21

Norman Ralph, President of the AHS, comments on the establishment of the National Federation of Atheist, Humanist and Secular Student Societies (AHS):

"We want to celebrate knowledge and human endeavour. Humanity should take responsibility for its flaws, and also take credit for its successes, not abscond responsibility to an imaginary father figure. We're about celebrating, learning and making the most of the one life we have."
