From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Humanist was the first periodical issued by the modern humanist movement in the United States of America and was in continuous publication from 1928 through 1936. In 1933 it published the first Humanist Manifesto. After a hiatus of four years it was succeeded by the Humanist in 1941.
Today, as a different publication of the same name, the New Humanist is the leading journal of humanism, atheism, secularism and freethought in the United Kingdom. It has been published for 120 years by the Rationalist Association, starting out as Watts's Literary Guide in November 1885. Today, it embraces a broad range of subjects, from a humanist perspective. Past and present contributors include HG Wells, Phillip Pullman, Bertrand Russell, Nicholas Walter, Laurie Taylor, Noam Chomsky, Stan Cohen, Christopher Hitchens, Polly Toynbee, Baroness Susan Greenfield, Nick Cohen, Richard Dawkins and many more. The current editor is Caspar Melville.[1]
