Refuting Dennis Prager's Consequences of Secularism Video

from Glass City Humanist · host Douglas Berger - Humanist Advocate

We examine the claims made in a two part video by conservative political commentator Dennis Prager. The video titled 'The Consequences of Secularism' includes Prager's vague and misleading claims about secularism which he fails to define. He includes not only philosophical claims but also political claims that don't hold up to closer scrutiny in order to bolster his religious beliefs.Problems start when he limits his claims only to western Judeo-Christian values. We look at his claims against Diversity being an asset, that human worthiness requires a god, secularism leads to a loss of meaning, cherry picking science to claiming that religion is the bee's knees, and finally the old trope that western Judeo-Christian believers abolished slavery.01:00 Introduction05:41 Diversity is not a strength11:26 Human worth requires the divine17:34 Secularism leads to the death of meaning21:37 The science proof for religious belief38:15 Religious involvement in slaveryFull show notes & LinksSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our merch
