The Atheist Bus Campaign needs your support! Donate as much as you can spare in an attempt to get these humanist adverts displayed as widely across the country as possible. Looking at the amount raised so far should give you an idea of how much good company you’re in by choosing to support the British Humanist Association in this, and the more donations they receive, the greater the chance of having the adverts on a bus service near you!

In week 4, we’ll be showing Dawkins’ Channel 4 documentary about religion, entitled The Root of all Evil?. It’s a look at the negative impact of religion over the years. This will be held in L5 at 3pm on Wednesday, 22nd of October.

In week 5, Andrew Copson of the British Humanist Association will be here to deliver a talk on faith schools. His talk will be at 6pm on Thursday, 30th of October.

To see Andrew Copson in action, take a look at his appearance on the BBC.

At last, we’ve got a guest speaker coming to talk to us! This will be our first external speaker, so this is huge news. I’ll keep you posted.

This event will take place at 6pm in L5 (in the Science building, near the Student Cinema’s room).

Greetings to Warwick Atheists members, new and returning, and welcome to another year of thought-provoking events, entertaining and interesting film showings, fun socials and delicious meals! We have got an excellent year lined up for our members. We want to reach out to as many people as possible and get them involved in the society’s activities. Last year, our Best New Society award showed everyone exactly how capable we were of creating a successful and enjoyable environment for anyone interested, and we hope to do even better this year.

Take a look at the announcements for our upcoming events, or visit and join our Facebook group for regular updates.

If you need to contact someone from the society, for any reason, you can e-mail me personally at w.wybrow[at]warwick.ac.uk, or another exec member.

Lastly, if you haven’t joined the society officially, please do so. By joining, you’ll have access to regular e-mail updates. The funds will also go towards bringing you bigger events (including a provisionally planned speaker from the BHA) and better merchandise. We’re only asking £2 to join (lower than lots of other societies), it’s less than the cost of a pint to you, but to us it’s one step closer to being able to fully fund our plans for the year.

Upcoming events for the term are currently:

• Week 3 - Thursday, 6pm - Room L5 - “Introduction to Godlessness”
  A series of talks, hosted and presented by the Warwick Atheists, on a few broad topics to do with atheism or some of our members’ values.
• Week 4 - Wednesday, 3pm - Room L5 - “The Root of All Evil?”
