It's Yale and New Haven Humanism Week in New Haven, and so we thought: Hey, wait. Just what the heck is a humanism exactly anyway?
And so then we thought: And what about, uh, agnosticism? Unitarianism? Universalism? Unitarian Universalism? Maybe even atheism?
Are these secular(ish) isms all cut from the same ism-shaped cookie cutter? Where do they overlap? Where do they disagree? And, really, we're Americans: Which one wins?!
So we're having a bake off. A cage match. A grudge match. A duel to the death!
Or, I mean, we'll have a nice, cordial discussion about these related but different ways of looking at the world.
Plus, maybe there'll be cookies.
