What is Secular Humanism? What are its objectives? What is its importance? Why should one support it? Why are the comparatively small numbers of the nonreligious actively involved in the secular humanist movement? Dr. Ron Lindsay, CEO of the Center for Inquiry, Los Angeles, provides an unsparing review of the state of secular humanism today and issues a rousing call to arms. He demonstrates the critical significance of the secular perspective, especially as it relates to public policy in this video titled: Secular Humanism and Its Discontents.
POSTPONED, TO BE RESCHEDULED: Humanist lecture series on History and
Public Policy. Professor Edward J. Blum, San Diego State University
Department of History, will speak on "Religion and Politics in America from Jefferson to Lincoln."
Blum is a specialist in studies of race and religion in historical
context. He has published award-winning books on American history. Is
America "a Christian nation?" Is America a secular Republic? What's the
difference? Does it matter? Exactly what did the founders intend?
