Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights leader, Baptist minister and founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference believed in a strict separation of church and state.

Martin Luther King Jr. asked: β€œWhat are you doing for others?”

In his lifetime, he was surveilled, criticized, and opposed for demanding racial justice and collective responsibility.

His legacy reminds us that justice is a shared responsibility.

The Critical Need for Humanist Inclusion Humanism is a non-theistic worldview centered on ethical living and human responsibility, long protected as a religion under the First Amendment. A recent Texas court ruling threatens these protections by excluding non-theistic beliefs. Interfaith Allia...

Opinion | The most elusive founder, whose pamphlet fired up a revolution With β€œCommon Sense,” published 250 years ago this month, Thomas Paine was just getting started.

On the 250th anniversary of the Founding, Thomas Paine reminds us that democracy is a verb. He argued for reason over passion, challenged tyranny at home and abroad, and never stopped pushing America toward a more perfect Union.

240 years after Jefferson’s Virginia Statute was enacted, Christian Nationalists want you to think religious freedom is a privilege just for them.

We're setting the record straight: It's always been for all of us.

Here we go, on and on about humanism… forgetting that a lot of people might be thinking: what tf is humanism, anyway?

Oops... our love for Thomas Paine got ahead of us.

So we fixed it.

Every Bean down in Beanville loved Christmas, it’s true!
Till brands monetized all of it... Then sold it to you.
Each tradition? A transaction. Each cheer? A receipt.

Did the brands steal Christmas? Or make it complete?

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The plots of disaster movies that portray the end of civilization often begin with high-level Government Officials ignoring the warning of scientists.

One of several lesson learned from the 2.5 hour Netflix Documentary β€” Don’t Look Up (2021).
