Upcoming Humanist Events

According to a recent poll carried out by YouGov nearly half of the British public think that religion is harmful. However more than half also believe in God or “something”.

Many argue that belief in God is irrational and harmful to society, they also maintain that religion fuels hatred, bigotry and war.

Critics on the other hand say that religion produces great good such as charities, dealing with bereavement and that is the only rational basis for morality.

So who is right? Are we better off without religion or should society have more of it?

To discuss this and other related issues join our distinguished panel.

Tickets

Tickets will be £2.00 on the door.

The room we have booked has a strict limit of 60 people so the CLHG has a tight guest list of 30 people for this event. Please reserve your place by RSVPing ‘Yes’ here. Places are on a first-come-first-served basis.

We expect the demand for tickets to be very high so I will email all those who have RSVP’d to confirm attendance nearer the time. If you decide not to attend please update your RSVP so others who want to attend can.

We will operate a waiting list after the 30 places have been taken so please register your interest even after the places have been filled by joining the waiting list.

If you have any questions please email Alie Fuller via Meetup.
