Time out

by David Horton Atheism, Education • Tags: Atheism, australia, Easter, education, history, religion, science

My latest piece on the ABC site The Drum is up now. Please go and visit, and leave a comment (the more comments I get the more likely they are to keep publishing me) if the spirit moves you. I am up against three religious pro-Easter pieces and am feeling outnumbered. Oh and I am sure you will enjoy it.

Happy Eostre month, as Bede might say.
