The Spittoon is a blog venue for the views and ideas of a group of writers and activists who oppose religious supremacism and clerical fascism in all its various stripes and denominations. It aims to contribute ideas to that intellectual tradition, now losing ground to power structures and religious oeorthodoxies”. Ideas which respect a willingness to dialogue, a spirit of criticism, moderation of judgment, philological scruple, a sense of the complexity of things.
