Quote From a Famous Secular Humanist

“The whole thing [religious faith] is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life”.

Sigmund Freud

They Said What?!

“Planned Parenthood, we’re going to get rid of that.”

Christian Right, Anti-Freedom of Conscience Spotlight

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops - “The purpose of the Conference is to promote the greater good which the Church offers humankind, especially through forms and programs of the apostolate fittingly adapted to the circumstances of time and place.”"Its purposes under civil law are: “To unify, coordinate, encourage, promote and carry on Catholic activities in the United States; to organize and conduct religious, charitable and social welfare work at home and abroad; to aid in education; to care for immigrants; and generally to enter into and promote by education, publication and direction the objects of its being.” This organization is the most powerful anti-women, anti-freedom, and anti-reproductive rights lobbies in the US. They seek to end legal abortion, legal contraception, family planning services and voluntary sterilization.

Point of Inquiry: Sean Faircloth’s “Attack of the Theocrats

A common goal of freethinkers, humanists, skeptics, and atheists is to preserve Thomas Jefferson’s “wall of separation” between church and state. But we haven’t always been successful in this area—help from the courts notwithstanding—or at beating back the steady advances of the religious right. How can we do better? Our guest this week has a new book on the topic, and just as important, a new way of thinking. His name is Sean Faircloth, the director of strategy and policy for the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. Before that, Faircloth served five terms in the Maine Legislature and went on to serve as executive director for the Secular Coalition for America. He’s author of the newly released book Attack of the Theocrats: How the Religious Right Harms Us All and What to Do About It.
