NATURALISTIC SUPPORT –

Change That Will Last

There are many faith-based leaders and followers who are inspired by texts, teachings, and traditions, from their respective faiths to support a progressive agenda. These include Jim Wallis, founder of the progressive nonprofit organization, Sojourners and Rev Dr. William Barber, co-chair of Poor People’s Campaign.

But despite decades of hard work and commitment, these movements have gained little ground. In fact, much of the progress that had been achieved has since been rolled back.

From the vantage point of Naturalistic Humanism, a big piece of the problem is that the arguments progressive faith-based organizations make are insufficient to overcome the dominance of misanthropic and judgmental thinking.

This is where Naturalistic Humanism can make a crucial difference. Tune in to find out how and join our discussion. And as always, we will be live and taking your calls.
