Be afraid… be very afraid. If you can’t see the video above, see the film website. According to an interviewee in this trailer, there are two kinds of people in the world… people who love Jesus, and people who don’t. The co-ordinators of the ‘Kids on Fire’ evangelical summer camp, who insist that “we have the truth”, want to see Christian children as radicalised as the Muslim children with grenades strapped to their bodies – assuming that all children are, or should be, radicalised in the first place.

Religious critics of evolution have trained their sights on one of the world’s pre-eminent fossil exhibits — Louis and Richard Leakey’s extensive skeletal collections illuminating the origins of man. Evangelical Christians in Kenya are demanding that the exhibit at Nairobi’s National Museum edit out references to human evolution in order to prevent young African Christians from being taught falsehoods.

A Suffolk Humanists member who’s not on the Internet contacts me the old-fashioned way – by letter. His latest went as follows: Identity Crisis I chanced upon the word ‘godless’ in a dictionary, which gave three definitions: ‘Refusing to acknowledge God’. I recognise myself.

An organisation called Truth in Science has … sent resource packs to all UK secondary school science departments.
