The secular and skeptical movements are often portrayed by the media as dominated by old, white, men - and that's partially based on truth. Big names like Dawkins, Hitchens, and Randi are the first to pop up in discussions. Conferences and groups are often overwhelmingly male and white. Lists of influential freethinkers frequently omit women and minorities.

While freethinkers aren't completely void of diversity, there's still room for improvement. It's often hard to know where to start - and that's where The Freethinker's Diversity Guide comes in. Our goal is to help atheists and skeptics be more inclusive and embrace diversity. We provide useful tips for making events and meetings more welcoming, a list of outstanding speakers from underrepresented groups, and reviews of how well upcoming conferences deal with diversity.
