Three mornings with Charles Taylor 's A Secular Life. ** I discuss the magnum opus of Charles Taylor. A secular life. And the famous, and oft misquoted, Carl Jung. All his patients in the later life (over 35 yrs) none of their malaise was left once they adopted a religious view of life. Not religion but to see meaning and value in all life, universe, existence...

"The challenge for secularism For many people, religion does provide a sense of community and a source of consolation when a great loss occurs in their lives. If secularism is to replace religion, it will have to provide those same benefits. It is therefore important that secularists come together to provide that same sense of community and support for its members. Four keys to providing a sense of community Membership - having a sense of belonging and a personal investment in the group. Building trust - people must know and be able to depend on what they can expect from each other in the community. The community must offer something of value that its members want. There is a common bond, an emotional connection between members. Religion vs. secularism Religion depends largely on faith, an unquestioning belief in the spiritual, suspending logic and reason. Secularism relies on the laws of science, proven facts and the use of reason to decide the correct path forward. Most religions emphasize an afterlife, that is, no matter how bad a person's life is, they will be better off in the afterlife (when they're dead). Secularism believes that the life a person is living now is what is most important and that people should have the resources and opportunity to make that life a happy one. Living a secular life - basic principles The universe is governed by one overarching set of laws, the laws of nature and science. The human community, whose existence is subject to those laws, needs to respect and preserve the environment that nature has bestowed, or threaten the existence of humanity and the other species with which we share our planet. Within the human community, if we are to consider our societies to be civilized, each person must be acknowledged as having a set of basic rights. An individual's basic rights The right to life and liberty, liberty being the freedom to do that which injures neither another person nor the environment. The right to be happy. Freedom from discrimination based on race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religious or other personal beliefs, nationality or social origin. No human being shall be held in slavery or servitude. The right to live in a free and open society with the right to vote, free speech, a basic education, affordable, quality healthcare, clean air, water and proper sanitation. https://www.thesecularcommunity.org/presentation.php (LINK) Our children Because children represent our future and because of their lack of maturity, they require special safeguards and care. Children, defined as those humans under 18 years of age, should be afforded the following protections: The right to know and be cared for by their parents. While acknowledging the rights and responsibilities of parents, children are not the property of their parents. Where a parent's personal beliefs or actions are contrary to the health and well-being of the child, the child's well-being takes precedence. Children have the right to form and express their own ideas in the same manner as adults. Code of conduct We cannot command people; people have free will and will make their own decisions as to what they will do. However, people must also be held accountable for the consequences of their actions. We do not need religion for morality; as a society, we are fully capable of agreeing on a basic set of precepts that form the basis of a common moral code that all should follow, and as a foundation for a set of laws that society puts in place." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Pleasure also has no answer to pain. This is perhaps pleasure's greatest weakness as a purpose to life. Qoheleth will point this out later, but life is so hard, even under the best of circumstances, and you can't simply distract your way through that. No matter how much pleasure you can have, all it takes is one devastating diagnosis, or loss, or divorce, or death, to completely undo you. And you can't throw pleasure at that pain, can you? It doesn't work. The spell that pleasure casts is easily and immediately broken by pain. The human capacity for pleasure pales in comparison to God's capacity for it. There is beauty, and delight, and music, and light, and colors, we can't even experience. They only exist for God's delight. Qoheleth's lesson is not that he wanted too much, and it let him down. It's that he wanted too little, when Eden was there all along. And God intends to make everything into Eden one day, and invite you in, if you are willing to follow him there. Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4888253622.05.01

This week's guest drops some shocking information: not only is religion declining around the globe, but atheists are proving to be more moral than fundamentalist Christians. To discuss how this came to be, we're joined by Phil Zuckerman, a professor of sociology at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, and the author of several books, including What It Means to be Moral, The Nonreligious, Living the Secular Life, Faith No More, and Society Without God. Among other things, we talk about the evidence for and causes of secularization, the future of religion, and the roots of morality. We also find out, for example, whether a true secular person can have sex outside the holy bonds of marriage or tell their kids about Santa.In the bonus section, available on Patreon exclusively for subscribers, we talk about Phil's establishment of the first Secular Studies program in the world at Pitzer College and whether academics are paying enough attention to the massive decline of religion.For more on Phil and his works: https://philzuckerman.com/Phil's latest article in Salon, “Staunch atheists show higher morals than the proudly pious, from the pandemic to climate change”: https://www.salon.com/2021/08/21/staunch-atheists-show-higher-morals-than-the-proudly-pious-from-the-pandemic-to-climate-change/New edition of Society without God: What the Least Religious Nations Can Tell Us about Contentment: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.18574/9781479851119/htmlUpcoming virtual book launch (September 15th) for the two-volume Cambridge History of Atheism: https://atheismsecularismhumanism.wordpress.com/seminars/Follow Nathan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NathGAlexanderNathan's website: https://www.nathangalexander.com/If you find the podcast valuable and want to support it, check out our Patreon page, where you will also find bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/beyond_atheism You can also contribute by going to https://anchor.fm/beyond-atheism and clicking the “Support” button.

Professor Zuckerman talks with us about morality and how it cannot be based in theism, which is covered in his books two of which are: "Living the Secular Life" and "What it Means to be Moral" Some highlights: * If there is a god it makes the case there is no morality there is only obedience * Because the word moral is an adjective, if it's gods will or command does god command these things because they are moral or are they moral because god commands them * if moral because it comes from god - that is arbitrary * if god commands it because it is moral, then negates the need for god * in secular system we can build some type of structure of what is moral * where does morality come from - natural sources where did our desire to help others come from - here are a few sources - 1. evolutionary path as social primates 2. cared for as infants * and more --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/free2think/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/free2think/support

Sacred vs. Secular. Sacred music = church music or religious music. Secular music is non-religious.  Sacred activities = religious activities (attending church, reading the Bible, praying). Secular activities is everything else ... which is where we spend the majority of our time - working, cleaning, going to school, and all the stuff of everyday life.  But the Bible doesn't intend for you life to be divided like this.  In a biblical view of the world, everything is spiritual. The only proper division is righteous or unrighteous. And when we live our life unto God, paying the bills is just as spiritual as praying or preaching. Doing homework is just as sacred as doing Bible study.  Discipleship resources for churches and ministries:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net/bible-training-churches   Want to deepen you connection with God?

In What It Means to Be Moral: Why Religion Is Not Necessary for Living an Ethical Life, Phil Zuckerman argues that morality does not come from God. Rather, it comes from us: our brains, our evolutionary past, our ongoing cultural development, our social experiences, and our ability to reason, reflect, and be sensitive to the suffering of others. By deconstructing religious arguments for God-based morality and guiding readers through the premises and promises of secular morality, Zuckerman argues that the major challenges facing the world today―from global warming and growing inequality to religious support for unethical political policies to gun violence and terrorism―are best approached from a nonreligious ethical framework. In short, we need to look to our fellow humans and within ourselves for moral progress and ethical action. Shermer and Zuckerman discus: what is morality and what does it mean to be good? the evolutionary origins of morality the “naturalistic fallacy,” or the “is-ought fallacy” and why it need not always apply how we’ve made moral progress over the centuries thanks to secular forces why religion is always behind the wave of moral progress (but takes credit for it later) the origin of good and evil how to solve crime, homelessness, and other social problems through science, reason, and secular forces, and the seven secular virtues. Dr. Phil Zuckerman is the author of several books, including The Nonreligious, Living the Secular Life, Society without God, and his latest book, What it Means to be Moral. He is a professor of sociology at Pitzer College and the founding chair of the nation’s first secular studies program. He lives in Claremont, California, with his wife and three children.

For 480 years, the Church of Norway was the official state church of Norway, and Evangelical Lutheranism, the official state religion. But on January 1st, 2017, the church and state completed a legal split. Though enrollment in the Church is still at about 70% of Norwegians, this follows years of dwindling attendance and surveys showing a declining belief in God. We learn that Norway is following a pattern that many developed countries do: as safety, wealth, and happiness increase, faith in the divine dips. But many Norwegians are turning to a new form of belonging and ritual outside of a religious context: humanism.

This week, Gerard Russell talks about “Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms”; Alexandra Alter has news from the literary world; Phil Zuckerman discusses “Living the Secular Life”; and Gregory Cowles has best-seller news. Pamela Paul is the host.

Phil Zuckerman is a professor of sociology and secular studies – yes, secular studies – at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, where he lives with his wife and three children. He is the author of several books about atheism, including Society Without God and Faith No More: Why People Reject Religion. Next week, he’ll be releasing a book called Living the Secular Life. We spoke with Phil about whether the rise of the "Unaffiliated" has hit its peak, why more atheists have come out of the closet over the past decade, and why that demographic shift is good for America.
