Secular Thought for the Day

Assuming the pledge at PledgeBank is successful then there will soon be a daily posting here of secular thoughts.

We will be providing one thought a day for at least a month. It will be secular and will discuss topical issues from a moral or ethical perspective. Expect logical reasoning and rational arguments.

The site has been inspired by Gavin Orland's campaign to allow non-religious contributions to BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day slot, which is broadcast each day at 7:45am within the Today Programme. Here we are demonstrating, in the most practical way possible, that secular contributions are possible and would have something to say.

The thoughts published here will be written mostly by ordinary people who do not claim any particular authority or standing in society. They are not Rabbis or Priests nor are they personalities or household names. Their only authority is that they speak rationally and cogently about whatever subject they choose.

Enjoy.
