  • The Rise and Fall of New Atheism
    New Atheism was a movement that spanned from roughly 2001 to 2013. It was characterized by an aggressive online debate style that often satirized religions, idolized science, and made many enemies along the way. New Atheists became the stereotype of what it meant to be an “atheist.” Mike and I discuss the way the movement rose to prominence, why it fell apart, and what we can learn from New Atheism moving forward.Support the show by becoming a patron at patreon.com/reenchantment

  • Changing Christianity | Anton Faynberg

    Can a rave be worship? If an atheist meditates on Jesus, are they still an atheist? Can a changing Christianity remain vital in an increasingly secular world?

    Anton Faynberg and I had very similar upbringings but chose very different spiritual paths. He is a believing Christian in the Anglican tradition. I am a secular Humanist. We don't always agree, but we find both common ground and conflict as we discuss our respective beliefs.

  • Einstein's Religion
    Einstein's ideas about religion have often been misunderstood. He neither believed in God nor was he an atheist. In this episode, Lecco Morris and I discuss the complex beliefs of the most famous physicists of all time. We delve into his Humanism, his commitment to pacifism, and his humbleness before the enduring mysteries of our universe. Einstein, the titan of science, was also a wise and caring man. He knew how far the circle of his knowledge extended and never claimed to see beyond.

  • Art and Mysticism | Kythe Heller
    I speak with Kythe Heller about mysticism, both old and modern, and how it intersects with art. We delve into the activism and writing of 13th century mystic Marguerite Porete, the word-weaving of the Chilean poet Cecilia Vicuña, and the sacred music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.

  • Thriving with Psychology | Bob Faw
    I speak with Bob Faw about how positive psychology can help Humanists develop a rich and flourishing internal life. Religions give people ways to feel ecstatic, empathetic, humble, or part of a group. Modern psychology is piecing together what behaviors we can introduce into our lives to go beyond feeling "OK" and instead feel truly connected and wholly alive.
