  1. RE: mstdn.social/@FromTheRostra/11

    Finished reading. Great coverage of freethought from late 18th to early 20th century.

    Interesting to see some cyclical history. Hoffman describes an antiscriptural emphasis to the Paine era & social reform emphasis in the Robert Owen era, which prefigures a similar difference in 20th/21st century freethought between skeptical debunking and social justice emphases.

  2. Reading David C. Hoffman's American Freethought (2025) and saw the National Liberal League's 1880 presidential platform, including this plank:

    "Universal education the basis of universal suffrage in this secular republic."

    As true now as it was then.

  3. More #Americans are #nonreligious.
    
New report focuses on the fastest growing segment of #religion or (#nonreligion) in decades who may reflect the front line of future #spirituality.

    Over the past ½ century, the amt of Americans w/no #religious affiliation has gone from 5% to ~30%. A report released Wed on the “nones” finds that they are diverse, young, left-leaning & may offer clues to the future of making #meaning in a secularizing country.
