Diversity and the Freethought Movement
 
Although we freethinkers think we are a diverse group, one quick look around almost any humanist or skeptic group meeting will say otherwise—we're predominantly white, older, highly educated, and male. A conversation about the lack of diversity in our in our movement and suggestions for what we can do about it is worth having.
