Charles Bradlaugh was a British orator who founded the National Secular
Society in 1866 in the hopes of providing a more organized and positive leadership
to the freethought movement than had previously been available. He was elected to the
House of Commons as a Liberal in 1880, but he was refused his seat, in part because
of his objections to taking an oath of allegiance. He finally was able to take his seat
in 1886, but his fight left him financially and emotionally drained.
