I’ve noticed a lot of stories and media outlets, even @npr.org seem to be putting out lots of “unity content”. Lots of “put your politics aside for the holidays”, lots of “find common ground.” I’m sorry, but no. I know my worth & if your politics don’t find me worthy, you can fuck all the way off.

To scare you into silence. Into compliance.

To make you avert your eyes as he undoes what took over two centuries to build. For fear of his retribution.

Sunday Assembly aspires to be a supportive inclusive secular community where we share values.

A bunch of Sunday Assemblies are alive and well and not just for atheists (it was the media that labeled it an "atheist church" at its inception), but simply secular. Nothing wrong with hearing a talk (science!) and singing some songs (Queen!) and then noshing together. It's pretty dang lovely.
