   Tonight, at 8.30 p.m., there was an amazing half-hour programme about   
   humanism on BBC Radio 4.   
      
   The awkward and unhelpful title was "A human politic". Its proposal was   
   that, after 500 years in which European politics was based on humanism   
   (!!!) there were now some challenges. You can read about it (and   
   possibly hear it for yourself) at www.bbc.co.uk - it's well worth it.   
      
   The challengers were represented by an animal rights campaigner who   
   described humanism as "species-ist" and a Muslim who thought it   
   disrespectful to Allah.   
      
   They were quite well dealt with.   
      
   Enjoy!
