Reflection on Spirituality of Atheism

Last Saturday night the Brooklyn Humanist Community assembled for a Reflection led by our President, Tony, on the topic, "The Little Book of Atheist Spirituality." This was a lively discussion that lasted for over 2.5 hours. Tony brought in several pages of quotes from the book, and we read a section at a time and then stopped to discuss it. We talked about atheism, agnosticism, deism and theism, belief or disbelief in a power greater than ourselves, and whether or not there is an afterlife. It was a great Reflection and we were able to share differing views without anyone feeling threatened. That is the beauty of a humanist organization!
