Scripture in schools - a blight on our education system



Dr Darrin Morgan is from FIRIS - Fairness In Religion In Schools. His talk will focus on religious instruction in NSW public schools in the context of international human rights and the machinations of elements of the scripture lobby which are aimed at dismissing the rights of parents/caregivers with non-religious belief systems.

Unlike NSW, Victoria has succeeded in removing the perniciousness of scripture.

This talk  will be held from 7.00 to 9.00pm Friday 12th of October at the Function Room

An evening of atheist - religious humour

An evening of atheist - religious humour

This event is intended to be an evening of humour, fun and laughter with various atheist and religious videos.

Come have a laugh because Scott Morrison might just ban us from laughing about religion. Perhaps he might invoke stoning as it says in the Bible and the Koran: https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/scott-morrison-vows-to-change-laws-on-religious-freedom-but-won-t-be-a-culture-warrior-pm-20180907-p502da.html


We will have time for chat, discussion and most importantly fellowship and connection with other atheists
