Peter Leslie Brearey (1939-1998) was a British journalist, secularist, and socialist known for editing The Freethinker from 1993 until his death. He rejected religion in his teens and became active in leftist politics, initially with the Young Communist League. Brearey, who authored a book for young journalists, became recognized for his contributions to local journalism and opinion writing, advocating for reconciliation during labor disputes. His innovative editorship of The Freethinker revitalized the magazine while maintaining its traditions, and he passed away from cancer at age 58.
