Freedom of Religion and the Secular State

I just realised that I should announce my new book in this forum. Details are Freedom of Religion and the Secular State (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012). If you can't afford it, maybe your local or university library can! :) See: …See More

Russell Blackford replied to Jeremy's discussion Writers vs Technical Writers? in the group Atheist Writers

"To be honest, I think you probably are overthinking it. I'm not sure what rules you were taught apart from trying to avoid split infinitives, not ending sentences with prepositions, and not using "like" to mean "such…"

"I enjoyed doing the program, and I reckon it could easily have been a 2-hour program with the talent that was there and the strong public response."

"I agree with Kristy that it's better to write letters to newspapers than make (what I take to be) nasty comment to the people on the Parliament of the World's Religions' page on Facebook. This is an opportunity to make a political…"

Stephen Moore replied to Russell Blackford's discussion Clive Hamilton in the group Aussie, Kiwi & South Pacific Atheists

"I have his book, The Freedom Paradox: Towards a Post-Secular Ethics, but have not got around to reading it yet. Other than that I know nothing of him. Will have a browse through his website."

Clive Hamilton

Opinions please. I am disconcerted to see this man - whom I consider to be an authoritarian, puritanical moralist - standing for the Greens as their candidate in the Higgins by-election.Perhaps I'm being unfair to him: I have only read his opinion pieces, not his books. Still, those should convey his views. In particular he supports censorship of the internet. He advocates a post-secular morality. Anyone more familiar with his work than I am? Should we do more (I've been doing a small amount)…See More

I have just read 50 Voices - an excellent book! Worthy contributions. I was wondering if you knew of any literary agents that would be interested in atheistic writing. I have completed a book on free will aimed at the intelligent layman, explaining the playing field, how it interacts with religion and foreknowledge, and where society goes within a potentially deterministic framework. Would you have any hints for agents or publishers?
Cheers
Johno

Wanted to tell you I really love 50 Voices of Disbelief. I am consuming it slowly. I like to read one when I'm feeling outnumbered if you know what I mean. I also saw you at the AAI convention in Burbank last October. Thank you for your contributions to this cause and community.

Congratulations. Warren and I are discovering that editing is not the 'breeze' we thought it might have been. ;-)
