Greg M. Epstein’s post - Nonbelievers are Believers Too
Greg M. Epstein is the Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University. The following is an excerpt from his recent post:
President Obama described his mother as a “lonely witness for secular Humanism,” but to gain greater inclusion we must never again allow women and men like her to be so lonely. We must not only tear down unreasonable ideas but also build up positive Humanist community. And as we push back against the idea that you can’t be good without God, we must always remember that we stand for more than simply living “without god.” More profoundly, we who have been called nonbelievers–and though I call us Humanists, I encourage you to choose whatever name you like–are passionate believers in human good, for goodness’ sake, and for the sake of all humanity and of all the world.
