New Humanist is published by Humanists UK.

Is the UK still a tolerant country? We ask comic Stewart Lee, Green politician Caroline Lucas, Irish peace activist Emma DeSouza and others from across these islands how we can push back against hate, while building new national stories. Humanist leader Andrew Copson speaks to former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams about why American-style Christian nationalism is creeping into the UK. We report from New York on Zohran Mamdani's fight against Trump and his brutish ICE officers, and pay tribute to the strangely healing power of heavy metal. Plus: Stop the whining, writes Dorian Lynskey - Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the epic we deserve.
