Hi <<Name>>,
Can atheists believe in God? What are the demographics of nonbelief?
This week, we bring you the demographics in an original article.
We welcome new fellows, an expert in parasites from Uganda and a mathematical logician who says God doesn't add up.
Plus see what coalition members are doing to stop controlling schools in the UK and Canada, and how you can get involved in SPI's letter-writing campaigns. They really work!
