About Charles Bradlaugh
Charles Bradlaugh (1833-1891) was a prominent British political activist and atheist. He was known for his advocacy of secularism, women's rights, and reform in the British Parliament. Bradlaugh founded the National Secular Society and was the first openly atheist Member of Parliament, although his seat was initially denied due to his atheism. He fought for the freedom of speech, the right to hold non-religious beliefs, and the separation of church and state.
