Every religion on campus has its student society, from the Christian Union to the Jedi Knights. Now the non-religionists will have theirs too.

The National Federation of Atheist, Humanist and Secular Student Societies launches today to mobilise non-believers.

The "anti-God squad", as it is happy to be called, says it will fight for the voices of what it believes to be the majority of students to be heard on campus and further afield.

It is planning campaigns and events across the country to protest against religious privilege and promote the understanding of science.

It has the support of some of the country's leading critics of religion: the scientist Richard Dawkins, the philosopher AC Grayling, and the Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee.
