Einstein’s Religion
Posted on 14 Jan 2019
Joe Chuman, Leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County (part-time leader of the New York Society for Ethical Culture), spoke on January 6, 2019 about “Einstein’s Religion.” (Click on camera icon in upper right corner to open video.)
Although Albert Einstein was not a member of Ethical Culture, he was familiar with the Movement and had high praise for it. In analyzing Einstein’s thoughts on religion, we Ethical Culturists can perhaps gain clarification of our own. Because he was the consummate genius of the 20th Century, Einstein’s insights on religion may also provide validation for beliefs that sometimes baffle outsiders.

The American Ethical Union has passed a resolution--Defending the Right to Vote--to "stand up for a democracy that protects our values and our constitutional right to cast our vote." The words of the resolution are contained in the graphic as a reminder of the importance of protecting this precious right. You can also read the resolution at aeu.org/resource/2019-defending-the-right-to-vote/. Please do read it.
The resolution cites many concerns about ways in which our right to vote is being eroded and why it needs to be defended and then points to multiple ways to defend it. Certainly we need to exercise our right to vote at every opportunity, but we also need to work together to ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote can get registered and have convenient access to the ballot.
Where to begin? Anywhere. When to start? Now. What to do? Everything you can.
