Atheism

A day or two ago, I donated to the atheist bus campaign. They have now nearly raised £100k, which is quite impressive.

To follow up, I have joined the BHA. I have asked them about starting a Humanist group in Rugby - as if I have surplus free time. I realise religion (or a lack thereof) can be a controversial issue, but I have considered and respect the BHA's position on these matters.

I have recently been summoned for jury service. I was interested to learn that I can choose to "affirm" rather than swear an oath on a holy book of my choice. I think this will be much more meaningful for me.

I know that some Christians object to swearing on the Bible, because they feel that it discourages the swearing of oaths.

Where 'it' refers to the Bible, not the act of swearing on the Bible.
