New Humanist Update

In our latest piece of web exclusive content, technology writer Bill Thompson examines the consequences of all those enthusiastic social networkers letting Facebook know they're atheists.

New Humanist is co-hosting an event at RSA tomorrow (Thursday 31 January) entitled "How to Repair Democracy in Britain".

It will feature Professor Stein Ringen, who writes about liberty in our current issue, Andrew Tyrie MP and Paul Skidmore, McConnell fellow of public policy at Princeton University and Demos Associate.

It's taking place at 1pm at the RSA, 8 John Adam St, London. It's free and open to all, but you will need to book online via the RSA website.

While you eagerly await the next issue, due out at the beginning of March, remember there's still loads of fantastic content from the current issue to get your teeth into.

Find out what four scientific experts would say to Darwin if he miraculously rose from the dead, what Laurie Taylor did say to David Attenborough when he went to interview him at his London home, what no-nonsense campaigner Mikey Weinstein thinks of the evangelical takeover of the US military, and much, much more.

The New Humanist blog is firing on all cylinders at the moment (50 posts this month and rising) and we strongly advise you to keep an eye on it. It's updated several times a day and will keep you up to speed with relevant and irreverent stuff from across the web, upcoming events and dates for your diary, and the daily goings on of a small but perfectly formed heretical magazine. Watch out for our opinion polls, where you can cast your vote on key issues from the world of humanism and free thought.

If you don't already receive New Humanist, why not request a free trial copy? With a beautiful new design and great content it'd be a shame to miss out. Did we mention it was FREE?
