Alex Rosenberg is professor of philosophy and chair of the department at Duke University, USA. He is the author of 14 books and more than 200 papers on the philosophy of the sciences. He has been a lecturer in the faculty of philosophy at Oxford University, and is the author of “The Atheist’s Guide to Reality”.

Alex says: “Atheism UK makes an important contribution to the defense of public discourse against obscurantism, mystery-mongering and hypocrisy. Atheists in the United States envy the strong secular culture of the United Kingdom and the institutions that sustain it. But we also recognize that reason must persistently prevent the tide of wishful thinking and pious sanctimony from lapping at our feet. That’s what makes the work of Atheism UK so important.”

In February 2012 Atheism UK hosted Alex Rosenberg to talk to our members and supporters about his book ‘The Atheist’s Guide to Reality’:
