**Topic/speaker of the month: The Rise of Nonreligion & its Perpetuating Beliefs
Across the world, more and more people are stepping away from religion — but what takes its place? How do nonreligious beliefs shape our values, our sense of belonging, and our helping behaviours?
At our next Secular Assembly, Robin, a member of our humanist community and researcher, will explore how non-religious beliefs can foster prosocial behaviour, why Singapore’s nonreligious population differs from Western trends, and the importance of social networks for community cohesion in a secular society. The sharing combines research insights, personal stories, and opportunities for discussion and connection about:
-How and why religiosity is declining worldwide
-The growth of nonreligious demographics, including in Asia-Pacific
-What drives compassion and prosociality outside of religion
-How secular communities can foster belonging and cohesion
*Assembly brief*
During the Secular Assembly, there will be: short sing alongs, a short talk, sharing of personal stories, moments for reflection and gratitude, and more. Light refreshments (packet drinks) will be provided. Assembly will start on time, please arrive 10-15mins early.
*Collaboration with Harmony in Diversity Gallery (HDG)*
The Harmony in Diversity Gallery (HDG) was developed by the Ministry of Home Affairs in collaboration with community partners and organisations like the Inter-Religious Organisation (IRO). The Gallery aims to promote an appreciation of Singapore’s rich religious diversity. It hopes this will foster a spirit of give and take, mutual respect and understanding, necessary to nurture and strengthen the religious peace and harmony we enjoy today.
