In this lesson, students will learn what it means to be a Humanist, including core beliefs such as relying on reason, empathy, and scientific understanding rather than religious teachings. The lesson explores how Humanists respond to the existence of evil and suffering, recognising that suffering is a part of the human experience but not part of any divine plan. Students will consider how Humanists seek to minimise suffering through human action, such as promoting human rights, compassion, and ethical living. The lesson also invites students to explore Humanist ways of coping with suffering, such as supporting others, building strong communities, and finding meaning through relationships and making a positive difference in the world.
