Women are treated as second class by most, if not all, religions and yet women are more religious than men. With women getting such a raw deal from religion, why do they put up with god’s mysterious misogyny? And how can we explain his attitude problem? Let’s try to show a little understanding, because the answer gives new hope for the world.

Brian Quinn was the first Coordinator of York Humanists and Chair of its predecessor, North Yorkshire Humanists, for many years. In his working life he had spells as a physicist, statistician, local government officer and NHS manager. Since retirement, he has had several years’ experience as a school speaker for Humanists UK, and has been active representing a non-religious viewpoint on partnership boards of local authorities, police and NHS. Brian is also a non-religious pastoral support volunteer with a hospital chaplaincy team.

Whether you are a regular attendee at our events, or this is your first time, you can be sure of a warm welcome. This is an opportunity to meet with like-minded people, share your thoughts on this topic, and find out more about our plans for York Humanists in 2025.

The event is free to attend, although voluntary donations are always welcome to help us put on more events like this in the future. Looking forward to seeing you there.
