Young people face Malcolm Muggeridge in a discussion on their beliefs.

This week: Humanism
"People must work together to try to make the world a better place for themselves if they can. We don't believe in following the advice of supernatural beings, even if there are supernatural beings, we don't hope that we can look up the answer in some holy book; we think that human problems must be solved in human terms".
