Communication is topic Nov. 5
HUMANIST ASSOCIATION
The LW Humanist Association will meet Sunday, Nov. 5, at 10:30 a.m., in Clubhouse 3, Room 1.
Polls consistently show that Americans will vote for a Muslim, homosexual, or just about anyone else before they would check the box for an atheist. Atheists, religious skeptics and humanists are among the last minorities.
With the aid of PowerPoint, Robert Richert will provide information and offer advice about how to communicate non-belief to the general public. He will highlight the many challenges that disbelievers face in sharing their views. He will explain various communication methods; both effective and non-effective. Richert will also offer tips about how non-believers can win over audiences, or at least have their views be given a fair hearing.
Richert believes that being deeply religious is analogous to being in love. Who wants to hear criticism about loved ones? That is the difficult challenge that atheists, skeptics and humanists face. Join the Humanist Association to learn how to help bridge this communication gap.
Richert has been active in the Freethought, atheist and humanist movement for over 40 years. He has given numerous speeches to these groups and written articles for their publications. He is an award winning writer and public speaker.
Don’t forget to change clocks back an hour on Nov. 5, because of daylight savings time —Robert Richert
