Summary

A year ago the British Humanist Association launched the "Atheist Bus Campaign" declaring "There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life". Would we enjoy life and be less worried without belief in God in modern Britain? Where do humanist values come from? What about the role of faith in school and society? Their latest poster campaign urges that children should not be "labelled" with a faith position. Andrew Copson Chief Executive of the British Humanist Association discusses the issues with Scottish minister and apologist David Robertson.
