- A Confession Of Belief (1896)

Bag om English Secularism

English Secularism: A Confession of Belief is a book written by George Jacob Holyoake and published in 1896. The book is a manifesto for secularism, a philosophy that advocates for the separation of religion and government. Holyoake argues that secularism is not anti-religious, but rather a belief system that values reason, ethics, and individual freedom. The book is divided into three parts. The first part defines secularism and its principles, including the separation of church and state, freedom of conscience, and the rejection of dogma. The second part discusses the history of secularism in England, including the struggles of freethinkers and atheists to gain recognition and acceptance. The final part of the book is a call to action for secularists. Holyoake argues that secularism is necessary for the advancement of society, and that it is the duty of secularists to promote their beliefs and work towards a more rational and just world. He encourages secularists to form organizations and engage in activism, and to strive for a society that values reason and humanistic values over superstition and tradition.Overall, English Secularism: A Confession of Belief is a seminal work in the history of secularism, and a passionate defense of reason, ethics, and individual freedom. It remains relevant today as a call to action for those who believe in the separation of church and state and the importance of rational inquiry in public life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
