SEPTEMBER FORUM

*

Sunday, September 12
10:30 a.m.

Red Bank Charter School

58 Oakland St.

Red Bank, NJ 07701

Topic:

“Is Religion Good

or Bad for Society?”
Guest Speaker - Tim Zebo.

Some say, “Of course, religion’s good for society – it fosters a strong sense of community, feeds the hungry, houses the homeless and promotes the moral education of our children.” Others say, “Are you kidding? Religion deceives people about the true nature of reality, inspires sectarian violence, teaches dangerous and misleading sex education, and causes
endless cultural disputes over abortion, gay marriage and stem cell research - of course, it's bad for society.” Drawing on recent social science research by the paleontologist, Gregory Paul, and the “Plan B” Initiative by Lester Brown, this multi-media talk will suggest a surprising new way to answer this question.

*

Interesting topics & lively

discussions. Meet other Humanists, Skeptics, Atheists, Agnostics, and Freethinkers who are seeking

intelligent "fact-based" conversations.

*

Free and open to the public. Our Forum is the second Sunday of each month

at the Red Bank Charter School, except
in August when we have a picnic.
