English Secularism
by George J. Holyoake
What is secularism? At its core, secularism champions the secular and temporal over the sacred and ecclesiastical, advocating that religion should remain a private matter. It challenges the notion that any church should hold a place in the public sphere, aiming to diminish the influence of religious institutions in both the East and West. George Holyoake, an English freethinker and one of the last individuals in England to be imprisoned for blasphemy, coined the term secularism during his time as editor of the secularist newspaper, The Reasoner. Join us as we explore the profound implications of secularism on society and its enduring relevance today. (Summary by Ava)
