Where We’re HeadedVerdell Wright’s ”Good God Gone”For Verdell Wright, one of the first and hardest things to let go in his journey out of faith was the idea of "Good God". Because with all that he’d seen around him concerning the historical plight of Black people alone he thought surely, there is no good reason to believe in an omni-benevolence deity. As an individual Verdell realized what he wanted more than anything was peace and freedom. He says, "I didn’t need to wait for my worthiness to be certified before God or myself"...and he’s not alone.
In this episode Verdell...
2022-03-041h 21Where We’re HeadedFaith of our FearsThe “Doubting Thomas” of the Bible has special resonance for our communities. Fear of doubt will reliably illicit a negative reaction and anxiety for many regardless of the faith tradition (e.g. Islam, Christianity, Yoruba/Vodún, Pantheist, Spiritualist).
On this episode we chronicle the fear of losing faith, spotlight the exile of a groundbreaking Pentecostal Bishop turned heretic and critique Anti-Atheist bias in rhetoric, behavior and policy for Black resistance and Social Justice movements.

We also may not understand how racism affects the mental health and overall perspectives of people leaving religion. Yet, atheists/humanists remain divided over what, if anything, should guide humanist thought and actions toward matters of racial and other societal injustices.
