  • (Dis)Believing and Belonging: Investigating the Narratives of Young British Atheists1
    (Dis)Believing and Belonging: Investigating the Narratives of Young British Atheists1 REBECCA CATTO Coventry University JANET ECCLES Independent Researcher Abstract The development and public prominence of the ‘New Atheism’ in the West, particularly the UK and USA, since the millennium has occasioned considerable growth in the study of ‘non-religion and secularity’. Such work is uncovering the variety and complexity of associated categories, different public figures, arguments and organi- zations involved. There has been a concomitant increase in research on youth and religion. As yet, however, little is known about young people who self-identify as atheist, though the statistics indicate that in Britain they are the cohort most likely to select ‘No religion’ in surveys. This article addresses this gap with presentation of data gathered with young British people who describe themselves as atheists. Atheism is a multifaceted identity for these young people developed over time and through experience. Disbelief in God and other non-empirical propositions such as in an afterlife and the efficacy of homeopathy and belief in progress through science, equality and freedom are central to their narratives. Hence belief is taken as central to the sociological study of atheism, but understood as formed and performed in relationships in which emotions play a key role. In the late modern context of contemporary Britain, these young people are far from amoral individualists. We employ current theorizing about the sacred to help understand respondents’ belief and value-oriented non-religious identities in context. Keywords: Atheism, Youth, UK, Belief, Sacred Phil Zuckerman (2010b, vii) notes that for decades British sociologist Colin Campbell’s call for a widespread analysis of irreligion went largely un- heeded (Campbell 1971).

  • Guardian-2May2018
    Interview Noel Fielding: 'Everything Salvador Dalí did was funny' Stuart Jeffries The comedian stars as one of his heroes, goth-rocker Alice Cooper, in Sky’s latest Urban Myths romp – so why did he pitch to play its other lead character, the clown prince of surrealism? Wed 2 May 2018 12.17 BST oel Fielding was born, or so you’d think, to play Alice Cooper. The eyeliner, the dangling black locks, the camped-up goth vibe, the way the comedian and Bake Off host dresses more outlandishly than anyone in any room, with the possible N exception of Prue Leith. Cooper has long been one of Fielding’s heroes. His parents were fans and inducted their son into the rock musician’s oeuvre, perhaps even instilling into little Noel the subversive philosophy of Cooper’s School’s Out. “I love his music. He was a punk before punk.” The Adventures of Alice and Noel, from the Guardian’s Guide, 2012. Illustration: Noel Fielding And then one day, Cooper appeared as a guest on the pop quiz show Never Mind the Buzzcocks, on which Fielding was a team captain. Their relationship blossomed. “He invited me to his show and then I did a cartoon strip about him in the Guardian.” He also interviewed his hero for the paper. So when Fielding went to audition for a role in a new drama for Sky Arts’ Urban Myths series about the time the glam rocker met the venerable shock artist Salvador Dalí, Fielding was a shoo-in to play Cooper. But he had other ideas.

  • Greg Davies Unites Top Comics for a Benefit Gig at London’S Eventim Apollo in Response to the Refugee Crisis
    GREG DAVIES UNITES TOP COMICS FOR A BENEFIT GIG AT LONDON’S EVENTIM APOLLO IN RESPONSE TO THE REFUGEE CRISIS On Wednesday 11th November, top names from the comedy world are coming together to help raise funds for charities - ActionAid and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Stand Up in Action - the one off comedy benefit night at London’s Eventim Apollo, will see a host of stars perform in aid of the current overwhelming global refugee crisis - the largest since the Second World War. The evening, hosted by GREG DAVIES (The Inbetweeners, Man Down, Channel 4), will include performances from fellow comics JO BRAND (Getting On, BBC One, Bake Off, An Extra Slice, BBC Two), ROISIN CONATY (Man Down, Channel 4, Impractical Jokers, BBC Three), RUSSELL HOWARD (Russell Howard’s Good News, BBC Two), REGINALD D HUNTER (multiple Perrier nominee, Reginald D Hunter's Songs of the South, BBC Two), DARA O’BRIAIN (Mock The Week, BBC Two) and JACK WHITEHALL (Fresh Meat, Channel 4, Bad Education, BBC Three) to name a few. All proceeds from the gig will be equally split between ActionAid and UNHCR to provide much needed support and assistance to refugees. ActionAid works with some of the world’s poorest women and children. They have been working with Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon since 2013, supporting over 90,000 people in the region and providing them with essential items such as clothing, hygiene items, torches, first aid kits as well as longer term support working with refugees in local communities. With the increase of migration to Europe, the island of Lesbos is often the first stop in Europe for many.
