Replacing what was, as said.
I do realizre this makes sense and is the future, as stated.

Not quite purely secular then.

I love this one: "Religious Society of Friends (Quaker)"
At the end of the day I see it as a non-issue. It's easier to hire a catch-all than more and more people to address every underserved demographic.

Is that somehow funny to you?

If so, why?

You're actually saying that "EPSTEIN" is an "unfortunate" name?


Why is that?

Not really funny, it's just such a wholesome friendly sounding name

"Head chaplain" huh?

The woke jokes at Harvard don't seem to know the definition of *chaplain*.

Harvard University’s more than 40 chaplains have unanimously elected an atheist to be the new president of its chaplains’ organization.


The very first sentence of the report from Breitbart, at the top of this thread.

I think it's fair to say that these 40+ Harvard University chaplains did not see a need to split any hairs or count up any angels dancing on pins by bestowing primacy in this context on exactly how the word "chaplain" has been defined in English language dictionaries over the years.

Good on them.

Harvard has developed a reputation for low standards of acceptance for people of 'special' classification in academia. They've turned it into a factory of sorts.

question
have christians dropped the all other religions are really the devil fooling people BS yet ?
I guess not as some christian cults still claim that about other christian subcults
let alone actual different religions

I mean some baptist cults claim other baptist cults are led by the devil
most of the protestant think the pope is for sure

so an honest atheist maybe best to ride herd on a bunch like that

and if no bombs honor kills or questionable suicides result call it a success
