Since its founding, the slogan of the global Muslim Brotherhood has never changed. The MB is quite open about its goals and methods: "Allah is our goal, the prophet is our leader, the quran is our constitution, jihad is our way, and death for allah is our most exalted wish"

@thisLAJenn @AlastairLichten Because religion will make otherwise and mostly good people do wicked things.

[Alastair Lichten @AlastairLichten]

Actually "let's not mutilate children's genitals for religious reasons" is a very sensible human rights argument.

It's shocking how religious privilege has so normalized this form of child abuse and blinded some people's basic humanity.

However you're going to celebrate Christmas, we hope that it's with those whom you love most.

Secular constitution for the UK, please!

Another wave of persecution will annihilate 2,000 years of Christianity in Iraq. Christians in other countries do you know or care?

Fantastic news!

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

After years of campaigning, a big success: humanists will at last be represented at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony in London this November.

@rickygervais @ViveCharlieMag Seems simple to me. Apart from a very small minority, XY chromosones mean he is not a woman!

"Radical Islam was crack cocaine for the old left. All Islamists asked in return for the fix... was that the left ignored and excused religious fanaticism, however violently it manifested itself." Our essay of the week comes from @NickCohen4 https://t.co/JJaQYCeDe8

A very good piece indeed. https://t.co/P2CnshkMUJ

[National Secular Society @NatSecSoc]

Letting pupils make their own minds up about religion may sound 'radical'. But if you believe in individual autonomy and education which gives children the tools they need to make informed decisions, this is just common sense https://t.co/QovV7s7366

Big thanks to all staff involved (and for the curiosity gift! Smells exactly like marshmallows!) Ms Garner, Mr Symons, fellow RS student @VictoriaLHall1 and all else involved. Curiosity is arguably the most important thing schools should stimulate in students! 🔎

[LAASH @LincsAASH]

Fab day with @PrioryWitham students looking at #Humanism and #Curiosity with help from @Humanists_UK @HumanismEdu Embrace uncertainty, doubt, & scepticism. Be willing to be wrong & never stop asking questions! Here's some of the student's work. #Atheism #Agnosticism #Secularism

It's Tim Minchin's birthday! Happy birthday! @timminchin #humanist

[National Secular Society @NatSecSoc]

On #InternationalBlasphemyRightsDay here's a reminder that dozens of countries have legal limits on free expression on religion. Religious ideas should be as open to challenge, insult or ridicule as any other https://t.co/fZClNTER9P

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

Blasphemy laws are an absurd, cruel joke. Democratic countries like Spain should not tolerate them in statute. They must be repealed everywhere. #EndBlasphemyLaws https://t.co/j3pO4QuokW

@GSpellchecker @rickygervais As Christopher Hitchens said, some people will stand on their own toilet cistern just to get offended by what is going on in the other stall. There is no reasoning with people who want to get offended, not matter what. Any apology will make it worse and will be used against you.
