Rationalist Association

Rationalist Association

La Rationalist Association, initialement Rationalist Press Association (RPA), est une organisation fondée en Grande-Bretagne en 1899 par plusieurs libres penseurs mécontents du tournant politique que prenait le mouvement laïc britannique, et qui souhaitait accorder une place plus importante aux combats sur le terrain des idées.

La Press Association publiait de la littérature anti-religieuse et la faisait diffuser chez les principaux éditeurs et libraires. La RPA changea de nom en 2002 pour devenir la 'Rationalist Association'.
