EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the triumphant moment when Charles Bradlaugh, a prominent British secularist and social reformer, successfully introduced a bill in Parliament in 1888 permitting Members of Parliament (MPs) to make a simple affirmation instead of swearing an oath invoking God. The image shows Bradlaugh, dressed in formal attire, standing at the despatch box in the House of Commons, surrounded by other MPs. Bradlaugh's journey to this momentous achievement began in 1881 when he was ejected from Parliament after refusing to swear the oath on the basis of his atheist beliefs. This incident sparked widespread public outrage and led to a series of legal battles. In 1883, Bradlaugh was re-elected to Parliament, but was again ejected in 1884. It wasn't until 1886 that the Speaker of the House of Commons, Thomas Brassey, ruled that an affirmation would be accepted in place of the oath. Despite these setbacks, Bradlaugh continued to press for his right to take his seat in Parliament. In 1888, he finally succeeded in introducing a bill to amend the Oaths Act of 1833 to allow for affirmations. The bill passed through Parliament and received royal assent in 1891, marking a significant victory for religious freedom and the separation of church and state in British politics. This photograph is a testament to Bradlaugh's unwavering commitment to his beliefs and his determination to challenge the status quo. It is a reminder of the importance of individual rights and the power of perseverance in the face of adversity.
