I’m excited to announce the fifth in the Freethinker’s series of free online seminars for all those interested in freethought history and its enduring relevance. The webinars, hosted by me and lasting around one hour, will feature expert guest speakers, to whom you’ll have a chance to ask your questions. There is no set schedule for these webinars; the best way to stay informed about when they are happening is to sign up for our free fortnightly newsletter, which will also keep you updated on all other things Freethinker.
The webinars will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel. (This post will be updated and the video of the webinar—on which more in a moment—will appear below once the recording is available. All posts about these webinars will be accessible here, and all such posts will also be updated in due course when the webinar recordings are available, thus forming a complete catalogue of the series).
Register for Freethought History Webinar #5: A Brief History of the Downfall of God. With S. T. Joshi.
The webinar will take place on 14 October at 7 pm UK time via Zoom.
About the webinar: Join S. T. Joshi to hear about his monumental history of atheism, The Downfall of God, the second and final volume of which is due to be published in November (find the first volume here). From ancient Greece to the Enlightenment and the 21st-century New Atheists, Joshi views the history of atheism as one of progress against religion: the long march of atheism and secularism has finally caused the downfall of God, he argues. In this webinar, he will discuss this history and his thesis.
About the speaker: S. T. Joshi is an American writer and literary critic who has written extensively on subjects ranging from H. P. Lovecraft to American race relations and, of course, religion and atheism. Find out more about him and his work here.
