Hello. I'm looking for guests who would be open to discuss their religious views in a podcast setting. I think the world could stand to know more viewpoints from all worldviews This is not a debate. I just want to know what you believe and why. This applies to traditional and non-traditional religious and secular beliefs. Simulation theory, darwinism, creationism, materialism, new age, ect. This will take place on Microsoft Teams as the audio will be recorded. No video portion at this time. If you want to share your view with the world please message me

Edit:

I realize I should have mentioned this earlier—I’m just starting out and don’t have any episodes yet. I’m looking for my first guests to kick things off! If you’re interested in being part of the launch, let’s chat

hello
here we go
you can do this
get up and try again
everyday in memoriam with
the journey being all we have
right now is the only thing that exists
we can't confirm our own perceptions
but we can use reason logic and data
to identify ever more bigger patterns
architecting a rich cultural tapestry
recognizing people as sovereign
capable independent & willing
so keep your head up
it'll turn out alright
and if not we'll
all be dead
in the
end

The Humanism is secular, but some people apparently blend it with a Christian outlook. Is this possible? How would it work?

I'm looking into secular humanism and have found so much kinship with its beliefs and causes.

But while I STRONGLY believe in a separation of church and state, believe religious institutions are inherently flawed and detest the suffering their laws can cause in the world. I'm also fascinated by and am deeply respectful of religions on a whole, what they can tell us about ourselves, and the wisdom they can contain. To the point I want to study and teach religious studies. I guess you could say I'm more anti institution then religion. I'm not a practitioner of any faith, I don't believe in any one true way, maybe I could call myself spiritual or agnostic. I like to believe there is wonder in the world that we can't truly comprehend. I do wonder if that goes against humanist disbelief in the supernatural?

Also when I go on online spaces I find secular humanists to be vehemently anti religion. To the point they'll be very derogatory to people who believe. It's very off putting.

Can you be a humanist who finds beauty in religion?

I grew up Episcopalian and was lucky to have a very accepting church - it primarily sought to teach compassion and loving thy neighbor. Was way ahead of the curve in terms of acceptance of gay rights, even back when my grandma was young. I moved away from the city that church was in, and have struggled to find another place like it. I don’t believe in hell at all, the idea that we would get judged after death is icky to me. I found humanism and have never resonated more. I’d really like a kind of “church” to bring my kids to one day that A. Teaches these ideals (as someone who works with kids, I’ve come to learn that respect and compassion DO have to be taught and aren’t always inherent) B. Serves as a community, I subscribe a lot to the “it takes a village” ideals and miss the village of my old church. Do we have anything like that? I’m new to this philosophy so I’m just curious of anything organized exists or if it would be counterintuitive

In 1952, at the first World Humanist Congress, the founders of Humanists International agreed on a statement of the fundamental principles of modern Humanism. They called it “The Amsterdam Declaration”.

Hi there! I am hoping to build a blog based on humanist values and will probably reach out towards topics such as economic democracy and latest scientific developments. I also want it to be a space where evidence-based policies can develop, including philosophical takes on current affairs. Is this of interest to anybody here?

Grew up in a very conservative environment and cannot quite bring myself to understand philosophies like rationalism, humanism and utilitarianism. Questions remain like; Why is personal belief in something that is not consensus still dangerous if it is not medical or ecological? Why is creationism inherently evil? (It doesn’t seem medical or ecological so it relates to the first question) What do you deal with people unwilling to change their minds? What does utilitarianism really mean? Why do we need the government involved?

I don’t want to talk to any of you directly. Due to my background, I might see your points as threatening. I also don’t like Reddit debates in general. Instead I would like resources to take notes on, especially you tube videos. My budget is pretty thin for books, and I prefer to listen to things due to certain limitations. Thus, assuming a channel is credible and not biased., YouTube is my go to for research.

If you are unable to help, feel free to ignore this. If you think your position is obvious, it’s not, especially for someone raised differently from you, and we can both certainly do without extra toxicity. Please ignore this post if you want to lecture.

If you do have links to good resources, I would be most grateful.

Hello Humanists! I'm Jake, Organizing Director at the American Humanist Association. I just started and I am thrilled to be joining this movement at such a critical point in American history. As long as our country has existed, humanists have been at the forefront pushing ethical behavior as the foundations of our country. We have marched with MLK, championed the women's suffrage movement, promoted secular education, championed the separation of church and state, and loudly lived our values that we can make tomorrow a brighter, kinder day than yesterday.

This year, we're headed back to Chicago where the original Humanist Manifesto was signed 92 years ago. With our new Executive Director, Fish Stark, we are headed into a new wave of humanist thought and action in the United States. We must action our values in big ways and we are energized to Move America towards a more open, empathetic, and humane society with you!

Got a bold idea, a powerful story, or a vision for the future of humanism?

Speaker proposals are open until the 17th!
Attendee registration is open now: https://www.conference.americanhumanist.org/

In addition, I want to hear from you! My role is new to the org and it's my job to help grow existing communities and help foster the growth of new ones. As Humanists, we can conquer the loneliness epidemic, we can build communities that lift each other up and drive forward a better way of living on this planet together. Tell me what YOU want to be a part of and I'll do my best to help those things grow.
Thank you for being rational, kind, and empathetic. I'm glad to share this pale blue dot with you!

Hey Humanists- I wanted to share a paper that I've been writing, and hopefully spark some discussion. I'm very passionate about Humanism and want to be the best advocate I can be for a better future. Let me know what you think!

Would you be interested in discussing Holistic Humanism, and how it could be a practical alternative to what we have today as ever dividing wild capitalism?
