On a recent Sunday, as millions of Americans met to celebrate their belief in God, 18 people met in Harvard Square to celebrate their lack of religious conviction.

They had come, as they do most weekends, for meditation, philosophical jousting, and a potluck lunch led by Harvard University's humanist chaplain, Greg Epstein.

Call it organized irreligion.  ...

On June 22 at the UUA General Assembly in Kentucky, the HUUmanists Association sponsored a program that was a dialog between John Hooper, president of the HUUmanists, and Greg Epstein, Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University.

Several recent studies have revealed that a rapidly increasing percentage of young people are affiliating with no religious tradition. Greg Epstein, founder and leader of a vibrant secular community organization, will describe a unique response to “the rise of the nones” that is succeeding beyond expectations.
