East Asia consistently tops the charts for atheism. Why? Personal experiences living in Korea, as well as historical research, shed light on the question.

What is HumanisticPaganism? (2.0), by B. T. Newberg
Giordano Bruno burned at the stake today
Today is the day Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for his pantheist beliefs.
Bruno (1548-1600) insisted that the earth revolved around the sun, that there are infinite worlds inhabited by intelligent beings, and that the sun is essentially a star. For these and other beliefs, he was burned as a heretic.
Paul Harrison, in his book Elements of Pantheism, suggests taking the day to remember the importance of religious freedom and tolerance.
Happy Darwin Day
Today is Darwin Day. This commemorates the birthday of the one who contributed the theory of natural selection to our understanding of evolution, Charles Darwin.
Many Humanists and others celebrate this day with workshops, art contests, protests, or dinner parties serving “primordial soup.”
Darwin Day is featured by the Secular Seasons project, an interesting effort to compile holidays for the non-religious – worth checking out!
And be sure to check for Darwin Day Events in your local area.
So, enjoy your Darwin Day, and go eat some primordial soup!
What is HumanisticPaganism? (2.0)*
Ours is a path both inspiring and, to the best of human ability, true.
– composed by B. T. Newberg with help from Jon Cleland Host and members of the Naturalistic Paganism yahoo group.
Ours is a naturalistic path rooted in ancient Paganism and contemporary science.
This path integrates mythic, meditative, and ritual practices with a worldview based on the current most compelling scientific evidence.
How do you like the site’s new look?
There was an error in yesterday’s article “HP: Our maturing tree.” The poll, which was supposed to ask about the site’s new look, accidentally got replaced with a different poll about upcoming posts. Apologies. Here, now, is the correct poll. Thank you for your patience.
Please rate the new look from 1 (worst) to 5 (best).
