Autor

Charles Bradlaugh was an English political activist, renowned for his advocacy of atheism and secularism. Born on September 26, 1833, in Hoxton, London, he became a prominent figure in the movement for secularism and free thought. Bradlaugh founded the National Secular Society in 1866, aiming to promote a secular state and challenge religious influence in public life. In 1880, he was elected as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Northampton, where he continued his efforts to promote secularism and challenge the existing religious and political structures. Bradlaugh also founded The Freethought Publishing Company, which aimed to distribute literature promoting secular and atheist ideas. He was a passionate and outspoken critic of the established church and advocated for the rights of non-believers. Bradlaugh was married and had two daughters, Hypatia Bradlaugh Bonner and Alice Bradlaugh. He passed away on January 30, 1891, at the age of 57, and was buried at Brookwood Cemetery. His legacy continues to influence modern secular and free thought movements. His work and activism remain significant in the history of atheism and political reform.
