Even though a growing number of Americans don’t believe in god, many remain reluctant to say so out loud. Our next guest argues that not only is it rewarding for those of little faith to announce themselves, it’s crucial to our country’s future.
In her book, We of Little Faith, she details the challenges and joys of fully embracing atheism—especially as a parent—Washington Post contributing columnist Kate Cohen does not dismiss religion as dangerous or silly. Instead, she investigates religion’s appeal in order to explain the ways we can thrive without it.
Americans who don’t believe in god call themselves atheists, agnostics, humanists, skeptics, and freethinkers. Sometimes they are called “nones,” based on the box they checked on a survey identifying their religion. And sometimes they call themselves Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist.
To discuss all of this, we welcome Kate Cohen to the RT.
