English Secularism: A Confession of Belief is a book written by George Jacob Holyoake in 1896. The book is a comprehensive account of the author’s beliefs and views on secularism, which is defined as the separation of religion and state. Holyoake, who was a prominent British secularist, argues that secularism is necessary for the progress and well-being of society. He discusses the history of secularism, its principles, and its impact on various aspects of society, including education, politics, and morality. The book also includes a critique of religion and its role in society, arguing that it has often been used to justify oppression and intolerance. Throughout the book, Holyoake advocates for a rational and scientific approach to life, free from the influence of religious dogma. English Secularism: A Confession of Belief remains a significant work in the history of secularism, and its ideas continue to influence debates about the role of religion in society today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
