Its activities range from magazine publishing to campaigning on ethical issues, from conferences to support networks, from educational courses to conducting secular ceremonies, from local groups to international development. Council activities include championing the rights and beliefs of secular humanists; serving the needs of non-religious people; developing secular communities; and giving a moral and intellectual lead.
