023 - Understanding Humanism with Dr. Anthony Pinn

This week I speak with Dr. Anthony Pinn, Agnes Cullen Arnold Professor of the Humanities at Rice University. I ask Dr. Pinn about his religious autobiography and his take on humanist and atheist movements vis a vis racial and economic justice. We also discuss the current efforts to create humanist rituals and communities and what, in his view, is still needed.
