Описание: “Humanism is increasing well-being and decreasing suffering for as many people as possible.”  - Wil Jeudy


 In this episode, Wil Jeudy, a secular humanist and political organiser based in Texas, shares how empathy shaped his journey from disengaged voter to coalition-builder, why secular government protects believers and non-believers alike, and how coordinated local action can push back against Christian nationalism.
