Enlightenment in the 21st century
What percentage of the German population believes in the resurrection of the dead, the power of stars, or rebirth? Are the majority of Catholics against abortion? What distinguishes the one-third of Germans who officially no longer belong to any religion?
The book "Manifest des evolutionären Humanismus - Plädoyer für eine zeitgemäße Leitkultur" ("Manifesto of Evolutionary Humanism - Plea for a mainstream culture appropriate to our times"), commissioned by the Giordano Bruno Stiftung, has been published (Alibri Verlag, 181 pages, Euro 10,-; ISBN 3-86569-010-6).
In order to create a critical counter-public to the expected media spectacle around the Catholic World Youth Day, the Giordano Bruno Stiftung, in cooperation with other groups, is organizing a series of events alongside the WYD (August 15-21, 2005) under the motto: "Religion-free zone: Heathen fun instead of hell’s torture".
Anyone wishing to support the work of the Giordano Bruno Stiftung ideologically and/or financially can join the "Förderkreis der Giordano Bruno Stiftung" (friends and supporters of the Giordano Bruno Stiftung). Any natural person or organization who endorses the foundation's ideas and goals is welcome to join this circle.
On May 25, 2004, the Giordano Bruno Stiftung officially connected to the web. The website will be continuously expanded over the next weeks and months. If you would like to be informed about updates, please subscribe to our newsletter.
