About Us

“The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason.”
Thomas Paine

League of Reason, established 2009, is a multi-author blog written by a collection of Youtube’s most popular freethinkers. Our aims are to promote reason, critical thinking and the public understanding of science, as well as taking a stand against censorship; particularly by religiously motivated individuals and organisations.

Initially, the site was set up as a discussion forum to combat a plague of censorship against freethinkers, orchestrated by a number of religious Youtube users. Their tactics included the employment of votebots (software designed to autonomously lower the ratings of videos) and the filing of false DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) claims in an effort to have critical material removed from the site.

The forum proved to be a successful and popular resource, not only for fighting censorship, but also for the discussion of a wide variety of topics. It flourished into a strong community for like-minded people all over the world.

Soon after its inception, with plans of expansion already in place, it was decided that the site should be moved to a new server, giving us more control. Our webmaster, CosmicSpork, implemented the move and proceeded to sacrifice his free time to upgrade the site with more features and a unique image.

Today, our community continues to grow, as does our excellent team of committed contributors. Together we endeavour to protect and promote the voice of reason, and we welcome you to join us.
