Autor

Chapman Cohen was an English freethinker, atheist, and secularist author and lecturer. Chapman Cohen (often known as CC) was the eldest son of Enoch Cohen, a confectioner, and his wife Deborah (née Barnett). He was born in Leicester, but the family relocated to London in 1889. He attended a nearby elementary school but was largely self-taught. He had read Spinoza, Locke, Hume, Berkeley, and Plato by the age of eighteen. He was a bibliophile who collected books throughout his life. Cohen described having "little religion at home and none at school" after being withdrawn from Religious Instruction lessons. He described his own attitude toward religion as "easy-going contempt". Cohen and his wife, Celia, had two children: a son, Raymond, who became a doctor, and a daughter, Daisy, who died at 29 years old from disease. A few weeks later, he came out against the same lecturer on their invitation. Shortly after, he was invited to speak by the local branch of the National Secular Society. After a year of speaking on freethought, he joined the NSS. In 1895, he was elected as vice-president of the NSS.
