On June 22 at the UUA General Assembly in Kentucky, the HUUmanists Association sponsored a program that was a dialog between John Hooper, president of the HUUmanists, and Greg Epstein, Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University.
Several recent studies have revealed that a rapidly increasing percentage of young people are affiliating with no religious tradition. Greg Epstein, founder and leader of a vibrant secular community organization, will describe a unique response to “the rise of the nones” that is succeeding beyond expectations.

A humanist community congregation sounds great and Unitarian Universalism certainly allows humanism. I do not think attempting to be all to all and tolerating any religious dogma is moving in a better direction. Our thinking needs to move beyond religion to a philosophy of humanism. Most churches do good but are still about worshiping a God. To worship anything enslaves the mind. The best thing to have faith in - is yourself! Humanism is not a religion and need not be!

I looked for an MP3 of this and none was available. Then I found the UUA gen mtg website. I think UUA policy of charging for the programs is very shortsighted! To make this convenient I need to be able to download to my device. This is disappointing not to be able to listen to this.
