Humanize Me 125: Are we going too easy on Christianity?
On this episode of Humanize Me, Bart’s friend Peter Montoya talks about his attempts to start a new community of secular ‘freethinkers’ from the ground up, how he began with the idea of a real, physical intentional community and didn’t get there, and ended up with a large online community to show for it instead. Bart asks Peter about his first attempts at secular community building, what he thinks didn’t work and why, and what the two of them believe to be the factors that set apart real communities from online ones, or from mere ‘events’ or ‘meetings’. Peter is a marketing expert with a professional website HERE. His online community can be found at NewFreethinkers.org and its Facebook page is HERE. Get in touch with Bart HERE!

Humanize Me 121: When the credit for your hard work goes to God instead
Bart chats with Brian Kateman of the Reducetarian Foundation about his mission to help reduce our meat consumption by encouraging people to simply eat less meat. This exciting new movement is composed of individuals who have committed to eating less red meat, poultry, and seafood, whatever the degree or the motivation. Not everyone is willing to completely eliminate animal products from their diet, so it’s an appealing idea and Bart finds much common cause during this conversation. Included in this episode: * Effective Altruism and how to maximize the efficiency of your philanthropic work * How Brian discovered explanations outside of religious ones, and became secular * Some of the reasons people engage in the ‘reducetarian’ idea, and what the movement is about * The similarities between reducetarianism with respect to eating meat and humanism with respect to religious belief * Why the reducetarian movement is based on what works, rather than more abstract ideas * How people can get involved Visit Reducetarian.org for a great intro to the movement. Order Brian’s book, the Reducetarian Solution, HERE. Let Bart know what you think of this HERE. Rate us on iTunes please! Thanks and enjoy.
