About this resource

The “Investigating Non-Religious Worldviews” resource from the “Investigating Worldviews” series is a valuable educational tool designed for school Religious Education (RE). This resource helps students explore non-religious perspectives, such as humanism and secularism, which offer ethical and moral guidance without reliance on religious beliefs. It invites students to critically examine the beliefs, values, and motivations that shape non-religious approaches to life, allowing them to understand alternative worldviews that influence many people’s choices and actions. This material encourages thoughtful discussion, empathy, and understanding of diverse perspectives, promoting an inclusive learning atmosphere. By using this resource, teachers can foster critical thinking, helping students to appreciate how different worldviews, religious and non-religious alike, contribute to the fabric of society. The structured activities and thought-provoking questions enable learners to engage deeply with complex ethical topics, reflecting on their own values and those of others in a respectful and informed way.
