Secularism and Humanism in Western Society Revisited

Last week, our Round Table discussion was largely devoted to this same subject, but there were several questions/scenarios I'd left on another computer and sadly didn't bring to the discussion. As well, this is a fairly broad subject with far-reaching implications, and the 47 minutes or so we spent on it last week really didn't do the topic justice. So, this week, Kile and I will talk about this some more. ~|~ Some of the sub-topics we'll discuss tonight include a) Moving beyond the impact of religion on the Arts, b) Social services without religion (or, uncompelled social services), c) Is it possible to teach strict humanism in education when historical examples mostly involve religious motivation d) Is not Secular Humanism just as likely to fall victim to the vagaries of human character as religion. ~|~ The list above is by no means everything we intend to discuss. Zach and Paul will join us if they can, and may well have their own questions for Kile, too. ~|~ Please join us for another interesting and dynamic segment of our ongoing discussion on secularism, humanism and atheism in society at 10pm Eastern Standard Time this Wednesday, February 9th here on BlogTalkRadio.
