"Faith, Interfaith and Non-Belief at the DNC" with Sarah Levin and Hemant Mehta

Unreasonable

After a long long week of activity in Chicago, our friends Sarah Levin (Secular Strategies) and Hemant Mehta (Friendly Atheist), graciously agreed to connect for an exclusive conversation for Unreasonable listeners, recapping what they saw and heard at the Democratic National Convention, especially from a secular perspective, since over 30 percent of the Democratic party is non-religious.

There was a lot of god talk coming from the podium. And we get it: Democrats have the opportunity to draw in people of faith who’ve finally had it with their anti-Christ candidate. How many of those people actually exist? Who knows, but in this game of inches it behooves us to invite them to the party and feel welcome. As they should: honest people of faith do, for the most part, share the social and moral values of secular voters.
And though there’s still work to be done, tremendous strides have been taken by the party to acknowledge their reliable None voters.
Sarah and Hemant walk us through them on this special DNC episode of Unreasonable.
