Editing Agnosticism (section)

====William Stewart Ross====
[[William Stewart Ross]] (1844–1906) wrote under the name of Saladin. He was associated with Victorian Freethinkers and the organization the British Secular Union. He edited the ''[[Secular Review]]'' from 1882; it was renamed ''Agnostic Journal and Eclectic Review'' and closed in 1907. Ross championed agnosticism in opposition to the atheism of [[Charles Bradlaugh]] as an open-ended spiritual exploration.<ref>Alastair Bonnett 'The Agnostic Saladin' ''History Today'', 2013, 63,2, pp.&nbsp;47–52

In ''Why I am an Agnostic'' ({{circa|1889}}) he claims that agnosticism is "the very reverse of atheism".<ref name="RossTaylor1889">{{cite book|author1=William Stewart Ross|author2=Joseph Taylor|title=Why I Am an Agnostic: Being a Manual of Agnosticism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nGNEmgEACAAJ|year=1889|publisher=W.
