In the 1890's humanists established the West London Ethical Church (in a churchlike building, with hymns, sermons and readings!). Today we have Sunday Assembly, and books like Alain De Botton's 'Religion for Atheists'. The question of atheist and humanist attitudes to religion has always been at the heart of what it means to be a humanist.
Stacey Shepherd and Don Cameron, two of our leading members, pick up the conversation about whether humanists should be pro or anti religion. They will examine issues such as:
• Is organised/formalised religion worse/better than personal faith?
• Should we view all religions the same eg are quakers and Buddhists different from proselytising religions?
