Technical Problems

Young Freethought is currently having some technical problems. The more observant of you may have noticed a lack of activity over the last week. Things are due to get sorted by next week, when all will be back to normal. Please continue to send submissions to youngfreethought@googlemail.com

Submissions

Our purpose is to recieve submissions from writers under 21 on any relevant topic (no bottom age limit); whether it be a news story, book review or an essay for school, college or university. To submit a piece for online publication, send an e-mail to youngfreethought@gmail.com with the title of the piece in the heading, a brief synopsis and bio, followed by the work itself. Occasionally, authors above the age of 21 will be published here, but only in special circumstances. All material will remain the intellectual property of the author. All articles are chosen and read by the editor. We are not able to pay authors for their articles, but we can offer them an ever-growing audience.

Suggested Topics

This list is only a suggestion of topics to encourgae submissions. Feel free to alter, change or ignore these titles. Don't forget, we recieve book reviews and news pieces too.

2009 marked the bicentennial of Darwin’s birth and the sesquicentennial of the publication of The Origin of Species. What is the status of ‘evolution’ like in the public sphere now the year has ended?

Why, in the 21st century, after much scientific and technological development, is religion not a dwindling remnant of our history?

Why, in the constitutionally secular nation of America, does religion play a larger part in society than in the constitutionally religious nation of Britain?

Should 'new atheism' look East? Details here.

An invitation to the religious on The Problem Of Evil. Details here.

When discussing religion with faithful family and friends, how far should you go to avoid causing offence? What about when talking to strangers about the subject? How far should the right to offend go? Details here.

Comments

Comments are welcome and encouraged. We do allow anonymous users to post comments, but we would prefer it if you used a name or regular avatar. Anonymity makes people naturally suspicious. All comments require word verification to check for spam. Please do not be afraid to disagree with the atheistic consensus. You'll understand that blogs like this attract a certain type of persistent spammer, so unfortunately all comments are moderated to spare us all the trouble of having to read their vitriol. I'll remove this policy whenever there is a lull in spam, but the moment it returns, it goes straight back up. So spammers, don't even bother...
