Event | Secularist of the Year 2007

I attended the National Secular Society's 'Secularist of the Year 2007' awards ceremony yesterday in London. This is an annual event which recognises individuals who have contributed toward secularism - that is the separation of religion and state and the end of religious privilege. I am a strong believer in secularism and it was a pleasure to attended the lunch as a guest of the NSS. This year's winner was Mina Ahadi an exiled Iranian who has campaigned tirelessly for human rights in Iran.
