What is secularism? It champions the secular over the sacred, advocating for a world where religion remains a private matter, free from public influence. Secularism argues against the entanglement of church and state, striving to diminish the power that religious institutions wield in society. George Holyoake, an influential English freethinker and one of the last individuals in England to face criminal charges for blasphemy, was pivotal in this movement. As the editor of the secularist newspaper The Reasoner, he coined the term secularism, laying the groundwork for a philosophy that remains relevant today. Join us as we delve into Holyoakes legacy and explore the vital principles of secularism.
