My story
We would like to put a copy of The Young Atheist's Handbook (Reviews Here) in every secondary school library in England and Wales.
This means raising the funds to buy, package and post copies. It's not intended for use in lessons, although some schools may choose to refer to it. Instead, the hope is simply to make it available to students to read if they so choose.
Many young people are brought up in the faith of their family, without ever really having the chance to choose for themselves. It's too often assumed that people have to 'opt-out' of a religion, rather than making a positive choice for themselves.
Alom's book tells how he made that choice and shows that you can make moral choices without a religious faith to guide you.
School is where we go to learn how to ask questions. It seemed to us that making the book available through school libraries is a good first step in educating young people so that they can choose to exercise their freedom of choice.
The costs over-all are heavily discounted thanks to Biteback Publishing, for each book to be packaged and sent to a secondary school library.
If you feel able, please tell your friends and family about the campaign.

Wonderful idea. All kids at our local school receive a Gideon's bible, I hope this will serve to redress the balance.
