On this National Day of Reason, too many people are dallying with faith and fable. They know it is fake but try to will it to be true or they value the wishful over the truthful. This is not OK.

Religious hypocrisy is nothing new, but this is PR malpractice and we need to spread the word.

Religion isn’t the only source of purpose, belonging, or wonder.
Secular communities, humanist values, science, and art all offer deep meaning without dogma.
Life is precious not because it’s divinely ordained—but because it’s ours to live fully and freely.

Americans simply haven’t found a satisfying alternative to religion, Lauren Jackson writes. “Religion can offer beliefs, belonging and behaviors all in one place; it can enchant life; most importantly, it tells people that their lives have a purpose.”
