Stated religious affilitation has dropped by a third in 30 years in the States. It's a good stat. I hope the rate speeds up

As President of a local Atheist group, when we tried to join the efforts of an Interfaith group, we were told we were not good enough! We were not based on "faith", just love of humanity and a great desire to help it! And that I guess is not enough when the goal is to hype faith instead of just help the world.

I think you clearly are ‘for’ some values you have in common with other belief groups - like compassionate assistance to others mayne - maybe it’s just pinning that (through your self identity as a group )on what you are ‘not’ for - I mean when you’re saying you’re ‘not’ on board with the harmful sides of theism. I’m not trying to put ‘words in your mouth’ so to speak - but it seems there may be a big unspoken commonality. Instead the focus may be where you diverge. From what you are saying it sounds to me you (your organization ) would be a valuable member of an interfaith community. It sounds like something is getting lost in translation. Hope this comment makes some sense (on a second reading I’m not sure it does 😜) Best wishes to you and your group 💚💙

@@sonyaparkin7841 Our group outright rejected "belief" as a rational acceptable approach to understanding reality. What we thought would be "unspoken commonalty", to move society forward in a positive direction, was rejected by those that use belief and faith instead of rationality and facts.

Thinking you can personally progress without the assistance of organized religion is equivalent to thinking you can personally progress without the modern education establishment.

And some of learn to deal with facts and reality. We learn personal responsibility instead of looking for a source of excuses to hide away from reality to. even if just temporarily. God made me do it is a comedy line! Sadly used for the worst in society for other reasons.

I have been a steady fan, but the climate change stance is really disappointingly middle brow. Right now, what we actually need to do is check the alarmism. Decarbonization cannot happen nearly so quickly. It's not just tactics. It's the curve on the computer models that is way off. A bunch of preposterously unpragmatic arguments, decidedly.

@@ajs1998 LMAO so low watt... There are PLENTY of highly respectable scientists outside the bubble on this. There is a major corruption of the university research funding pipeline, at least in the United States. Check out Stephen Koonin, Judith Curry, for starters... Plenty of highly credentialed dissenters. Just like challenging "the science" for covid lmfao.
