Norhaiyah Mahmood, president of the Humanist Society (Singapore), noted that the pope’s focus on inclusivity and support for marginalised communities aligns with her organisation’s advocacy for equality and justice.

“While his points are couched in religious language, many of the ideals expressed – building a fair society, ensuring inclusivity, and acting for the common good – resonate with secular humanist principles,” she said. “There can be common ground between religious and irreligious groups in addressing societal challenges.”
