From Philosopedia

Adams, Robert Chamblett (1839—1902)

A Canadian freethought leader, Adams evidenced his rationalism in Pioneer Pith: The Gist of Lectures on Rationalism (1899) and Good Without God (1902). He guided the influential Pioneer Freethought Club in Canada until early in the 20th century. In 1884, Adams was elected President of the Canadian Secular Union. He helped challenge the ban by customs officials on such freethought works as Paine’s Age of Reason and to secure the Dominion Oaths Act of 1893.
