What a privilege to chat with @RS4VP-ers about one of the periodicals I’ve spent 4+ years thinking about! Edited by Harriet Law, it’s a fascinating example of the Victorian radical and irreligious press, both in form and content.
For those of you suffering through #RSVP24 withdrawal right now, we have great news! The recording of our "Pick a Periodical" #RSVPDigEv this past May with @ClareGS87 on _The Secular Chronicle_ is now available on YouTube. Better late than never! youtu.be/GPnevf3mLM0

Excited about the publication of this essay I co-authored with @rcragun, @AbrahamHawley, and @ShakirStephen. We use the GSS to show that atheists and agnostics are likely to share certain beliefs about knowledge and death. Not simply negative identities! academic.oup.com/socrel/adva…
