My guest today is Jennifer Michael Hecht. Jennifer is a poet, an author, an award winning academic and an intellectual historian. She has written numerous books from a secular perspective. I asked Jennifer to come on the show to discuss her book Doubt: A History and its profound effect on me post-deconversion. She is one of my intellectual heroes. It is hard to express how much this book has influenced other secular writers and thinkers. This book has strongly influenced my other two favorite books Greg Epstein's Good Without God and Katherine Ozment's Grace Without God. Both of which quote Doubt throughout. Jennifer proved to be as profound a thinker as her reputation makes her out to be. It was my privilege to attempt to keep up with her in this interview. I am indebted to Jennifer for coining the term "graceful life philosophy." My concept of Secular Grace is an attempt to live a graceful life philosophy. "Great believers and great doubters seem like opposites, but they are more similar to each other than to the mass of relatively disinterested or acquiescent men and women. This is because they are both awake to the fact that we live between two divergent realities: On one side, there is a world in our heads— and in our lives, so long as we are not contradicted by death and disaster— and that is a world of reason and plans, love, and purpose. On the other side, there is the world beyond our human life—an equally real world in which there is no sign of caring or value, planning or judgment, love, or joy. We live in a meaning-rupture because we are human and the universe is not." -- Jennifer Michael Hecht Links: Jennifer Michael Hecht's website: http://www.jennifermichaelhecht.com/ Books: Doubt: A History https://www.amazon.com/Doubt-Doubters-Innovation-Jefferson-Dickinson/dp/0060097957/ The Happiness Myth https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Myth-Expose-Jennifer-Hecht-ebook/dp/B000PDZFTS/ Stay: A history of suicide and the philosophies against it https://www.amazon.com/Stay-History-Suicide-Philosophies-Against/dp/0300186088/ Review: My review of Doubt: A History https://gracefulatheist.wordpress.com/2017/01/16/review-doubt-a-history/ Recommendation: My story on the Deconversion Therapy Podcast https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/2019/05/09/15-remembering-the-humor-of-rachel-held-evans/ Attribution: "Waves" track written and produced by Makaih Beats http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Makaih_Beats Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gracefulatheist/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gracefulatheist/support

Hebrews 13:9 NLT So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them. In her book, Grace Without God (Harper), Katherine Ozment recounts how observing a Greek Orthodox Easter parade on her Boston street raised questions from her son. He asked what was going on. Katherine described the activity as a Christian ritual. When asked why their family did not do that, her instant response was that they were not Christians. Her son asked, then what were they, and she responded that they were nothing, which started her on the quest that gave birth to this book. She was uncomfortable describing herself, a lapsed Presbyterian, and her secular Jewish husband as “nothing”. She set out to find rituals to help her family navigate life, rituals that owed little to existing religious expressions but were primarily secular in nature. Hence the book’s subtitle, “The search for meaning, purpose, and belonging in a secular age”. Her observations are interesting. Is it possible to ‘borrow’ from the traditions of Christianity to instil a sense of belonging and morality within one’s children? Or, by removing the authority of God from our world view, might we simply recreate a legalism that ultimately reflects nothing more than a temporary moment framed in our social history? The truth about God’s grace is that it contains within it everything we need for life, a clear kingdom vision with an invitation to make healthy life- and time-style choices. Life’s many distractions, from wealth accumulation to the pursuit of our ultimate imagined ‘high’, are revealed as simply that – distractions. So it is incumbent upon each one of us to take decisive action to live by grace alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). There remains within each human heart an instinctive desire to realise some common virtues. Embracing God’s virtues as established in scripture takes responsibility from the hands of individuals to create their own. You are not to surrender nor despair of the distraction of so-called secularisation within society. You are invited to live by God’s grace each and every day. QUESTION: How do God’s values and virtues make sense in the context within which you live? PRAYER: Father, teach me how to live well in this world so that others may see your grace.

Show #173 | Guest: Katherine Ozment | Show Summary: American culture is seeing two apparently opposed trajectories: the science that religious belief improves quality of life, and the statistics that show Americans are increasingly rejecting organized religion. But that doesn’t necessarily add up to a rejection of spirituality. The same people who’ve stopped going to the chapel or stopped tithing at the church are finding their own rituals and belief systems. Drawing on hodgepodge of traditional worship trappings – incense, candles, prayers – this “do it yourself” faction is finding meaning outside the four walls of mainstream religion. Katherine Ozment’s book “Grace Without God” grew out of a desire to answer her son’s profound questions about life’s meaning. In the book and in her many articles, she probes the common ground between the secular and religious, and the reach of these questions into politics and larger culture.

Like Bart, Katherine Ozment is trying to figure out how best to find meaning, purpose and belonging in a secular age. In this conversation Bart asks her about her journey, which is similar to so many stories we've been hearing recently from the audience of Humanize Me.

Journalist Katherine Ozment joins us to discuss new book GRACE WITHOUT GOD and to describe how a Good Friday question from her 9 year old prompted her to explore secular approaches to religious ritual.

Katherine Ozment is the author of "Grace Without God: The Search for Meaning, Purpose, and Belonging in a Secular Age." She has worked for National Geographic and Boston magazine and been published in the New York Times. She lives in Chicago with her husband and three children. For years now, she has been exploring how the ever-growing segment of non-religious parents raise their children. They're not all atheists, but they have to grapple with the Big Questions about life and death and belonging, all without supernatural faith. She wrote a magazine article about it a few years ago, and she has now written a full-length examination into the topic. I spoke with her about what secular "grace" looks like, why atheists may want rituals traditionally reserved for the religious, and how the landscape for atheist parents is rapidly changing.
