A society for atheists, rationalists, secularists and humanists
Ok so here is where we are at. Claire has filled out all her details as a comittee member so if all goes to plan, Matt will do the same on Monday and I can take the petition to Jess who is the societies exec and will take it to the union council to get it ratified. We also need to finish off our aims and stuff before final submission though it’s all going well as things stand.
We have now got enough signatures to complete the petition to get official formation at Leeds University!
We’ve just launched or slightly modified website. It's still one page but the page now looks prettier and it's been moved to leeds.atheistsoc.org as the plan is to hopefully add more chapters at other universities and locations in the future (I'm dreaming big :D ).
The petition is almost complete for the formation of the Leeds Uni chapter. We're still down a committee member but other than that we are pretty much ready to go.
I'm not really sure what I am going to do with the site and blog at this stage but the formalising of the society is going ahead nicely. I think I am going to move the site to a sub for when we (hopefully) add more chapters at various universities to the organisation. At the moment I just want to keep a log of what is going on with the society.
I am still looking for a committee member at LU and plenty of signatures too but if all else fails I can just get randoms to sign it. I have some potentials lined up for the possible place too.
It's still a most basic affair but our holding page has now been replaced with a page explaining a bit about the society and some basic information. More will be coming soon!
I've just come across The Infidel Guy Show which is a guy that does a regular radio show. I'm just watching his show "there is no god and you know it" at the moment though I knew it was going to be interesting as soon as I hit his homepage as the video of the month was Sam Harris's speach at Idea City '05 which is my all time favourite video I've found on YouTube.
Atheists make up 10% of the United States population. Yet they only make up 0.2% of the United States prison population.
Hi all! Just getting the blog set up at the moment :p.
