Northern Freethinkers

What is it that makes secularism so important as a political framework? Join Mike Evans, Jackson Doughart and special guest Imola Ilyes as we discuss different definitions of secularism and how to make secularism appealing to the general public. Imola is a scholar of ethics and meta-ethics pursuing her PhD in Philosophy at York University.

Northern Freethinker returns with co-hosts Mike Evans and Jackson Doughart. Join Jackson and Mike as they discuss several issues surrounding religious accommodation that have been featured in the media in recent weeks and...well months. Additional topics include the difference between the English "secularism" and the French "laicite" and ways to spread the principles of secularism as the Ontario election approaches.
