ANTI-GOD CAMPAIGN

BRITISH COMMUNISTS BUSY CHURCH CHARITY ATTACKED ALLEGED TO BE DEGRADING MISSIONS ALSO OPPOSED By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Rec. 10.35 p.m. London, Jan. 2. The British Communists are preparing an anti-religious campaign and they have now formed a council to arrange an inaugural conference of the new organisation, which is called the British section of the Proletarian Freethinkers. Their intention is to expose the creeds of the churches on the grounds that they are fostered to defend bourgeois society, and are therefore a barrier to the emancipation of the workers. They also intend to attack the- charity of the churches as demoralising and degrading, and to oppose the “insidious, demoralising,. reactionary, Imperialist policy of missions to the heathen.” •Finally they aim to vindicate the Soviet’s anti-religious policy.
