Luke, I think it's an advert for the alpha course.

Hi all i'm quite new at this. Just thought i'd say i saw a big bill board in Rainworth in NOTTS tonight which was laid out as a question from a questionnaire. The question highlighted in the poster read out as 'IS there a god?'. This was a multiple choice question and the answers you could pick in this hypothetical question were 1) Yes 2) No or even 3) which i don't quite remember as i was driving, but i think it was probably not.

It made me smile. Just thought i'd reveal something pretty cool for my first post here.

Any London atheists know of any discussion groups or meet-ups happening?

A good place to start are the lists of distinguished supporters on the BHA and NSS websites. Dr Evan Harris and Lord Avebury are probably your go-to guys for all things atheist and ethical in Parliament

alak, there are actually quite a few outspoken non-religious MPs and Lords, compiling an accurate list would be a substantial task. You might find this discussion useful:

Here are some immediate events for the British including a splendid new television film this evening by atheist David attenborough:

Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life (Sunday 1 February, 9 pm, BBC1 TV).
It's fascinating on every front, a clear survey of a huge expanse of science and not to be missed.
There's one sequence in David Attenborough's masterly cruise through the history of life where he explains the development of the eye in animals. With beautiful briskness it stifles the old canard that Darwin's theory of natural selection can't explain how an organ as complex and 'designed' as an eye could evolve. For this one-off, the great communicator brings a lifetime of experience to bear on the story of Darwin's work and what we have learnt since about evolution. What makes the programme so captivating is not just the gentle clarity of Attenborough's style but the fact that he makes the story so personal. He reminisces about his fossil-collecting childhood and, via clips from his many series, we see not just dazzling creatures but also the "evolution" of Attenborough himself, from bright-eyed enthusiast to grey-haired sage. (Radio Times preview).

Darwin's Struggle: The Evolution of the Origin of Species (BBC4 TV, Monday 2 February, 9 pm). For 20 years after his return from the Galapagos islands, Charles Darwin observed all manner of life around him in Kent, including his own children, testing his ideas about evolution. This fine documentary tells Darwin's moving story.

Darwin & The Darwinian Controversy. A talk by Prof A C Grayling at Lord Hill Hotel, Shrewsbury, Wednesday 4 February 2009, 6.30pm. Full details. Booking form (pdf).

Did anyone hear Jonathan Bartley on Thought For The Afternoon? Wouldn't it be lovely if all Christians were like those level-headed people of Ekklesia? I actually thought he gave a more forceful non-religious message than Ariane Sherine

By the way, Hi. I'm a newbie. I used to be a bright but decided the Brights were getting too pally with religious groups for my liking. Glad to see a group of people dedicating themselves to atheism.

So now Sikhs and Hindus are accusing the BBC of bias towards Muslims. Be nice if they wanted all biases to be eradicated but, of course, they'll want as much of a bias towards them as other religions. It would be a first step towards the separation of church and state if the BBC could be separated from religion.
