This class is about the exploration of religious beliefs and non-beliefs. The principal aim is to learn about secular humanistic thinking and the major religions of the world, what they all have in common, what divides them and how they may have respectively contributed to the greater good (or otherwise) of the world. Historical contexts, scientific evidence and topical issues feature in the programme with the aim of developing our learning and our capacity to think clearly and constructively. This is undertaken through listening to presentations and from questioning and discussing practices and values. In those ways, the course presents an opportunity for participants to reflect on, clarify and develop their own thoughts and beliefs in a discursive and supportive context.
