Secular Sunday #73 – It’s A Cracker

Another late night edition. (It’s not rational not to take advantage of unexpectedly good weather.) We have some good news about our conference, a profile of one of its speakers, the welcome return of our news roundup (helpfully compiled by Barbara Monea), as well as listings of upcoming events and a couple of thought-provoking blog posts. Enjoy!

Secular Sunday #72 – Cardinal Sinners and Feminist Winners

It’s time for another Secular Sunday. With less than seven weeks to go until our Empowering Women through Secularism conference, we profile one of the most experienced of our speakers. We’ve also got the best of Irish atheist blogs (which tend to feature Cardinal Sean Brady quite heavily this week), and of course a listing of all the most godless events we could find.

Secular Sunday #69 – The Righty Quinn

If you’re sick of reading about David Quinn, then you may want to skip this week’s blog section. His behaviour at the Constitutional Convention and since has drawn the ire of quite a few bloggers and we’ve collected their pieces here. We also have some convention news, a profile of another of our speakers and a list of all the events we could find taking place in the next few weeks. Enjoy!

Secular Sunday #68 – In Before the Bell

Another late evening edition. Second Sundays do take their toll, but our brunch in Dublin was very enjoyable and reports from Sligo suggest a good time was had there as well. Check out our event listings below for other ways to hang out with atheists and skeptics. Let me know if there are any worthwhile events I missed.

Secular Sunday #66 – Bigger than Jesus

I don’t feel like I’ve saved any daylight today. I feel like I’ve been robbed of an hour that I won’t get back till October. So, produced in less time than usual, here’s this week’s newsletter.

Secular Sunday #63 – It’s Perfunctory

This week’s edition might be a little short on content because your editor was away from home yesterday, and today spent several hours lunching with other atheists. Nonetheless we have some news, upcoming events and of course a roundup of the most interesting of the week’s news from Barbara Monea.
