We stand against the rise of religious extremism and the suppression of minority rights. Secular values are under attack, and marginalised communities, including women, children and the poor, face growing injustices, often fuelled by propaganda and diaspora support. The Secularist is an independent media platform dedicated to examining these developments through evidence-based analysis, critical journalism, and informed public debate, providing a space for writers and researchers to explore the social and political consequences of religious authority and its impact on human rights.
