# Atheist ‘Schism’? No – healthy diversity

The question of the week on the Comment is Free ‘Belief’ section is whether there’s a ‘schism’ amongst atheists. It’s not a very sensible question but it did remind me of an article I once wrote for a Journal for teachers and students of RE about diversity among the non-religious. Basically I said that there is diversity, there always has been, and it’s a strength.

You can read on the [Shap Journal website](http://www.shapworkingparty.org.uk/journals/articles_0708/copson.pdf "Non-religious diversity").
