Tales from a New Encyclopedia

 
Centre for Inquiry's CELEBRATION OF SCIENCE AND FREETHOUGHT

ATHEISTS, HERETICS and UNBELIEVERS have fought at the forefront of every major civil rights movement of that last 300 years, including the Enlightenment, universal suffrage, abolitionism and minority civil rights. As the aggressive 'New Atheists' make headlines, the public tends to forget the legacy from which they stem.

In celebration we present:

TALES FROM A NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA

A presentation by Tom Flynn, Fri, April 4, 7pm

Tom Flynn, editor of FREE INQUIRY, leading secular humanist magazine, discusses the challenges he faced - and some of the surprising things he learned - during his five years editing THE NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA OF UNBELIEF. It covers in unprecedented detail the freethought, atheist, and humanist traditions and histories across the world. Flynn will share insights from research unearthing a once-vibrant freethought tradition in Toronto.
