So I’m not arguing for any dogma, or for any specific political stance. Not here, anyway. I’ve certainly argued elsewhere for specific political stances — fervently, and many times over — but I don’t think any of them are automatically demanded by not believing in God. I’m not arguing — here, anyway — for the repeal of corporate personhood or an end to the drug war, same-sex marriage or an end to racist policing practices, globally enforced child labor laws or greater equity in funding for education, restored regulation of the financial industry or an end to government support of corrupt dictatorships. I’m not saying that, when it comes to social justice, atheists need to do any one particular thing.
I’m saying that we need to do something.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteSocial justice refers to the idea of creating a society or institution that is based upon the principles of equality and solidarity, that understands and values human rights, and that recognizes the dignity of every human being. Thanks a lot.....
