Embrace The Void

The Secular Paradox with Joseph Blankholm


Listen Later

My guest this week is Joseph Blankholm, a religious studies scholar and associate professor at UC Santa Barbara. We discuss his recent book The Secular Paradox, where he unpacks several internal conflicts facing secular community organizers. We get into the nature of religion, the secular mindset, and how movement secularism might be able to grow past this seeming paradox.
