“The Religion of Democracy” with Fish Stark | Buxmont UU

Facebook Twitter Email Share
March 15, 2026 | 10:30am - 12:00pm
Eastern Time | Warrington, PA and Livestreamed

Humanism isn’t the opposite of faith — it’s the opposite of authoritarianism. Unitarian minister Curtis Reese, a co-founder of the American Humanist Association, called humanism “the religion of democracy” for a reason: the radical conviction that truth, morality, and power do not rightly reside in an external source, but in us.

Fish Stark, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association and proud UU humanist, weaves together humanist history, philosophy, psychology, and theology to lay out a blueprint for how UU humanists can lean into the fight against authoritarianism, feed our fire of commitment, and present a compelling vision for what we do believe — not just what we don’t. Come for a rousing affirmation that we are not merely subjects of history, but its authors — the very higher power we have been searching for.
