''The Freethinker'' is a British secular humanist magazine, founded by G.W. Foote in 1881. It is the world's oldest surviving freethought publication. It has always taken an unapologetically atheist, anti-religious stance. In Issue 1 (May, 1881), Foote set out ''The Freethinker's'' purpose: Although closely linked with the National Secular Society for most of its history (NSS Presidents and General Secretaries have at various times also served as ''Freethinker'' editor), ''The Freethinker'' is strictly autonomous and is not, and never has been, published by the NSS. In 2006, the magazine's front-page masthead was changed from "Secular humanist monthly" to "The Voice of Atheism since 1881". Barry Duke is the current editor. ==History== Following the publication of anti-religious cartoons in the Christmas 1882 edition of ''The Freethinker'', Foote was prosecuted for blasphemy, and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment with hard labour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Freethinker (journal)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
