It's fantastic to see this proudly atheist and humanist organisation in Australia directly contribute to worthy causes around the world.

In a world full of "ists", socialist, communist, rightist, leftist, fascist, feminist, anarchist, etc. etc., the only one that makes any sense at my stage of life is humanist.

An Australian organisation with the mandate of Beyond Belief is well overdue. People of faith have always been equally committed to helping the poor and sick, and making the world a better place. Now we can be confident that we are donating to organisations without any agenda other than helping the vulnerable on the ground.

This is a great idea, just what Australia needs right now.
