Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: Gordon Whitehead states that God is a just God and accuses Richard Dawkins of basing his opinions on only some of the relevant knowledge available to him. But if there were a just God he would, according to Bertrand Russell, expect men to make proper use of the reason with which he has endowed them and as he has not supplied them with sufficient evidence for believing in his existence, he would be displeased with those who did so, like Gordon Whitehead, and pleased with those, like Dawkins, who did not.
