The Atheist Blogger

Having an atheist group on campus is great fun, as long as you can remember what your group is called. Last September I created the first such group Royal Holloway had seen, the “Atheist Union”. Later that year we changed the name to “Atheist & Agnostic Alliance” because some people refused to join otherwise, and it looked more open that way.

Then, this summer a guy created the “Royal Holloway Humanist Alliance” which I quickly got in contact and met up with. At the meeting we decided that two secular groups on campus was plain silly, and so we created the “Royal Holloway Secular Students” group, which is an umbrella group for both the Atheist & Agnostic Alliance and the Humanist Alliance.

Enough is enough, we have a group name now…hopefully one that will stick. We are planning fortnightly debates on secular issues, such as Abortion (next week), Faith Schools, Evolution vs Creationism, and Shia Law.

Should be fun…
