A World Movement to End Blasphemy Laws Launches in 2015
On December 22, 2014, CFI Canada and Humanist Canada met with Ambassador Andrew Bennett of Canada’s Office of Religious Freedom. During that meeting CFI Canada brought Canada’s blasphemous libel law to the agenda and communicated our view that this law is dangerous, problematic and hypocritical for the Canadian government to retain. This first meeting soon led to partnerships across Canada and internationally! CFI Canada is proud to be a co-founder of a new anti-blasphemy coalition (ICABL).
Now hundreds of international organizations are calling for the removal of blasphemy laws wherever they exist. Association humaniste du Quebec, Atheist Alliance International, Atheist Ireland, BC Humanist Association, Centre For Inquiry Canada, Humanist Society of New Zealand, International Humanist and Ethical Union and a growing list of organizations have formed a coalition to oppose all global blasphemy laws.
