Hi Lawrence,
Please do take a look at humanist support egroup http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/hummay2004/ there are members from many African countries. Note that it is not a forum for discussion but a means of sharing news (good and bad) with some of the leading figures in the humanist/atheist/secularist movement around the world.
I am atheist from South Africa and the reason i joined this website is to primarily interact with like minded people. In South Africa there is only a handfull number of atheists let alone black atheists. more than often one has to begin explaining what atheism is to most people and belief me that is not an easy task. It is mostly due to the fact that many think in terms of black and white about religion, it is either you are with god (christian god in most instances) or satan. this is obviously motivated by the history of the country. however i have noted that amongst black communities there is reversion to traditional rituals (social backwardness) as a way of reasserting African identities. If you reject this like me you are labelled a cocoanut and you risk social rejection and isolation. What is amazing is that the country has a treasure trove of primate evolution and most people are ignorant of it.
I hope that the membership qualification of African descent goes back awhile. In which case I can be included. I would like to be able to hear what people are saying and to just from time to time convey some news from friends in Africa. Back in 2004 I attended a 'Visions for Africa' conference in Kampala Uganda organised by the Ugandan Humanist Association (UHASSO) and IHEU. I went with my very good friend the writer E.A.Markham who unfortunately died a few years ago. After that conference I started a humanist support egroup http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/hummay2004/ which I co-moderate with Leo Igwe from Nigeria and Deo Ssekitoleeko from Uganda. I am a British Humanist Association representative to IHEU and on the IHEU advisory group for the Uganda Humanist Schools. In relation to identity an article which I wrote awhile back might be of interest "Why I am an ex-Jew" http://www.humanistlife.org.uk/2010/04/i-am-an-ex-jew/
Happy new year to all. I've been busy on Facebook, and with other projects, and with everyday life. I see we are now up to 475 members. Congrats to Raina Rhoades on her new blog and to all other endeavors in this area. I am starting out the new year in a good mood, which may not be discernible when I'm attacking intellectual mediocrity even more viciously than I did prior to January 1. Civilization is sinking fast, and intellectual life along with it, but here at least things are moving.
I was in a small room for the most part with Greydon Square spittn' ... fug; intense individual on a mission; that's all I got now... btw I'm some white skinned guy that happens to be a godless hip hop (hardcore not the mtv junk) fan... and throw some Behemoth at the christcriminal types while I'm at it payce!
