Religion in American is a sensitive topic.  Some people demand that it be part of the public square and even preferred by the government over secular or rational views. In such a culture, practically any declaration by Humanists can be construed as offensive by someone.   But if we believe our philosophy benefits humanity, isn't it important for others to hear our views? Roy Speckhardt, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association, will discuss how to grow Humanism in our faith-based society. 

Is it worth risking offense to spread the Humanist message? Can we be clear about our identity without rustling faithful feathers?  Roy believes that Humanists, be they religious or secular in their approach to philosophy, can unite to bring humanism to the forefront of our faith-based society.
