The Rationalist Press Association is a focus for rationalist thought and debate in the UK and worldwide.

Through our magazine New Humanist, we promote and debate rationalism in contemporary society. Our writers span academia, politics, the media and culture: from Philip Pullman to Terry Pratchett; from Amartya Sen to Antony Flew; from Helena Cronin to Sir Harry Kroto.

As well as publishing the print version of New Humanist, we maintain a vibrant and vital online presence, with public debates, the New Humanist 5th column, updated news lists and a growing archive of classic freethought literature.

The RPA remains the UK's leading freethought and rationalist book publisher.
