Atheists in the United Kingdom and around the world condemn the killings of journalists and cartoonists at the Paris based magazine Charlie Hebdo on 7th January 2015. This was a religiously motivated attack to avenge insults to the prophet Muhammad through his depiction in cartoons.

About Atheism UK
Our sole objective is the advancement of atheism. From this, we derive our key principles, which in turn inform our policies and strategies. Atheism UK’s ultimate goal is the end of religious faith – the false and irrational belief that God exists – and of religion, the social manifestation of faith. We campaign, from an atheist perspective, against the false and pernicious claims of religion, its privileges and its malign practices. We reject the notion that faith and religion should not be questioned, and we seek to create an environment of atheistic thought.
