Hi fellow skeptics! My name is Sol, and I'm a French Atheist. I have lived in England (Reading, Berkshire) for about 4 years, so I won't have any trouble understanding you :). Today I want to…Continue

Profile Information
- About Me
- My name is Gilles (I go by the nickname "Sol", for various reasons). I am an anarchist and an atheist. I was raised in a secular houshold so I was able to make up my own mind, and although most of my familly just doesn't care about it (France is amongst the most secular countries in the world - fourth position last time I checked ^^), being a linguist and having spent some time abroad I know that religion is a problem in other countries, especially the United States. I have been following Youtube's atheist movement for quite some time now and I have recently applied to be a translator for the Richard Dawkins Foundation as a volunteer, being a professional translator (French <-> English).
So yeah! That's me!

By the way, is anyone else coming? (to Dublin, I mean, for the World Atheism Convention)ha ha!
Cos I'm going there on my own, but I'd be glad to spend the week end with some like minded fellows who would, like me, not have any experience of Dublin and would be as lost as I'll probably be.Lost with a stranger is always better than lost alone ha

- Welcome, Gilles! I never heard of Sociolinguistics. But, I was just reading about norms of conversation in chapter 4 of Living in Denial: Climate Change, Emotions, and Everyday Life by Kari Marie Norgaard.

It's awesome of you to volunteer to be a translator for the Richard Dawkins Foundation! As a supporter of the foundation, I thank you.
Now that I think about it, you're probably the perfect guy to help with projects in support of atheists in former French colonies, like in Africa, etc. They have it even harder than us American atheists.
As for anarchism, I can't quite wrap my brain around the idea of abolishing currency.
