Last week I had the privilege of meeting and hearing Sean Faircloth, executive director of the Secular Coalition For America. You can find links here and I recommend that you support them.

The event seemed thrown together at the last minute, but stalwarts of the South Florida non-theistic community managed to fill up the small room, nonetheless. We heard Sean speak about his well thought out vision for the future of one of the few organizations that represents the concerns of non-theistic Americans. I am so very proud that the Society for Humanistic Judaism is one of the founding organizations of the Coalition.

Sean started by presenting us with the sad state of church-state affairs in our country today. This included stories about some of the very real victims of superstitious religion such as children who died or were maimed by parents who relied on faith, rather than medicine. Or children who died because of exemptions made for churches from reasonable child safety regulations.

After this he gave us his precise plan for a better future while reviewing some of the history of cooperation – or lack thereof – among non-theistic groups.

I want to urge everyone to visit the Coalition’s website, www.secular.org and do what you can to support Sean and his staff. We all share a stake in fashioning policy that ceases to privilege religious superstition over reasoned thought.
