Secularism 2024: Protecting liberal values

Join us at London’s Covent Garden this October for our Secularism 2024 conference.

Our expert speakers will shed light on the contemporary challenges faced by liberal societies, including rising religious fundamentalism and identity politics, and how secularism can provide a solution to these complex issues. Together, we will also explore the importance of challenging religious privilege and safeguarding the core principles that underpin liberal democracy.

Confirmed speakers so far include:

• Lord Paul Scriven | Liberal Democrat life peer and disestablishmentarian
• Maryam Namazie | Iranian-born campaigner, writer and Spokesperson of the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain
• Emma Park | Writer and former editor of The Freethinker magazine
