Letter; Little faith in the figures
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In referring to "humanists, rationalists, existentialists and all other human supremacists" ("We believe in ... almost everything", 9 June) you perpetuate the fiction that lack of belief in a deity automatically implies that mankind is the most important thing in the Universe. In general the opposite is true. Most unbelievers of my acquaintance take the view that the human species is a trivial and almost certainly an ephemeral epiphenomenon in an obscure corner of the Universe, of little if any significance in cosmic terms.
