Andrew is a speaker, author, and chief executive of Humanist UK. His latest book is called "The Little Book of Humanism: Universal Lessons on Finding Purpose, Meaning and Joy". 

Andrew works to support change for a better society, championing ideas for this one life we have. He is dedicated to spreading humanism and creating a separation between church and state. The goal of humanists is to advance free thinking and freedom of choice so that everyone can live in a fair and equal society regardless of skin color, gender, ethnic or religious background.  

Andrew and I discussed: 

• Secularism vs humanism vs atheism
• What is humanism?
• What are (if any) the limits of free speech? 
• Should Twitter regulate speech?
• Getting religious influence out of government and educational institutions. 
• Running for president as an atheist 

And much, much more...

My Take: For too long, religion has had a grip on the way we behave, on the rules of society, the laws we implement, and what we deem "good or "bad". We need to have a more tolerant world where rational thinking and kindness prevail. I think humanism can help us go in that direction.
