Forum: The Religious Character of American Patriotism (Fred Edwords)

Details

As we face a strongly divided nation, populated by those with opposing concepts of our national identity, history, and ideals, it's time to take an honest look at our traditions and answer some hard questions. Do we have a national religion after all? If so, exactly what is it? And where might it take us? This talk will explore often overlooked aspects of American culture, allow us to see ourselves as others see us, and thereby inform the choices we must make for our future.

Fred Edwords is director of planned giving for the American Humanist Association, an organization he served for fifteen years as executive director and twelve years as editor of its national magazine, The Humanist.
