Righteous Humanist
By Righteous Humanist
Righteous Humanist is not a person; rather, it is an archetype representing the millions of people who are good without beliefs in gods. One goal of Righteous Humanist is to (re)claim ownership of words like “righteous,” which should never have become an exclusively religious concept. More broadly, my goal is to analyze the ways in which religous language, metaphors, expressions, and idiomatic expressions affect society.
