Secular Strategic Planning for 2025 and Beyond
Join The Atheist Community of San Jose and the Humanist Community, either in person or online, for a combined meeting to discuss how to approach 2025. The event will take place at the Mountain View Senior Center (and on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person – see details below).
The change in our national leadership will likely bring with it a greatly increased influence of white Christian nationalism. Indeed, many in the new government may attempt to use the power and wealth of both the federal and state governments to enhance their religious views and embed them in our regulations and laws. Many secular values will continue to be under attack. As secular Americans, we can – and must – choose how we will respond to this situation, and what actions to take to encourage and expand the positive impact of non-religious Americans in these trying times.
How do you feel?
- Are you discouraged and inclined to focus on your life and ignore the wider situation?
- Are you angry and searching for effective ways to counter the current religious and political trends in the U.S.?
- Are you looking for proactive strategies for continuing American progress in many realms even as Christian nationalists strive to turn back the clock?
- How are you planning to strengthen yourself and our community to assure our effectiveness?
Judy Banister will lead us in a discussion of what our members are thinking and planning to defend ourselves, our views, and our practices. A special invitation goes to any other individuals or members of non-religious groups who are interested in this topic to join us.
