We in all the allied countries and the rest of the world should ‘Never Forget’ what happened in the early forties. Thank God almighty and brave men. Thank you.

Yeah watch that God like a hawk, apparently he was on both sides.

NEVER FORGET
Men doing their "duty".
My Dad was called up when just 18 and spent the whole war away from his family.
He didn't call himself brave .. he had to do it.
North Africa, Italy, France and Germany.
(I have the medals)
Wounded and died years later with the shrapnel still in his back.
He would not have volunteered.
He certainly didn't gain anything - coming back to unemployment.

And as for gods!
They(/it) was on both sides.
NEVER FORGET

Have you heard about secular humanism?

“Secular humanism, or simply humanism, is a philosophy or life stance that embraces human reason, ethics, and philosophical naturalism while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and superstition as the basis of morality and decision making.[1][2][3][4]

“Secular humanism posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently good or evil, nor does it present humans as being superior to nature. Rather, the humanist life stance emphasizes the unique responsibility facing humanity and the ethical consequences of human decisions. ...”
