Sorry, and New Videos!

We’re truly sorry that the site has been down since this time yesterday. We’ve fixed the bandwidth issue now and it won’t happen again.

To apologise, here’s a brand new video of last Tuesday’s launch from our advert and website designer Graham Nunn:

You can also see the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation video below (you have to scroll to halfway through):

And if you haven’t yet seen the official campaign launch video by The Guardian, here it is:

There’s also been lots more global press coverage:

And lastly, I was really excited to be asked to give the first non-religious Thought For The Afternoon on Radio 4 last Saturday. You can listen to it here at 4.35 minutes in:

We’re On “Thought For The Day” (Well, A Reaction To Us At Least…)

It’s the bastion of the religious establishment: Thought for the Day on the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4. The problem is that atheists and humanists are barred from making presentations on the two and a half minute slot, but that didn’t stop Rosemary Lain-Priestley criticising the atheist bus campaign on today’s Thought for the Day. Click here to get to the recording of the progamme - 1:50:50 in. If you think we should be able to state our case then you can contact the Today Programme here.
