re: #811 Josephine

I was at the Centre for Inquiry Monday night to hear Maryam Namazie speak about freedom of speech and political Islam.

In response to someone’s question about not being able to find soup kitchens or charitable organizations at which to volunteer that weren’t run by religious groups, she said that secular humanists need to start such organizations.

Well, there’s also the option for the secular humanist to volunteer and help a religious organization with its work. Suppose you think the Salvation Army does a good job per dollar donated at helping people who have suddenly fallen into poverty. Secular humanists are practical folk who look for results, right?
