    Religious Trauma: Identity and Relationships

    In part two of this five part series, Caroline Winzenried will take a deeper dive into the complexity of navigating relationships and identity after leaving religion. Strained or severed ties with loved ones and communities can be one of the most challenging aspects of leaving, and for some people, the risk of rejection is so strong that they feel they need to "stay in the closet". But it isn’t just relationships with others that are affected; leaving religion also has profound impacts on identity. In this podcast, Caroline will discuss the profound impact of religious trauma on interpersonal relationships and the relationship with the self.

    The Hidden Toll of Religious Trauma

    A clear picture has begun to emerge in the field of mental health of the toll that certain harmful, high-control religious practices can take. In 2011, Dr. Marlene Winell coined the term "Religious Trauma Syndrome" to give a name to the unique trauma that many former and current religious adherents face from their experiences. In this podcast, Caroline Winzenried begins to shine a light on the hidden toll of religious trauma that can last even years after leaving a religion.

    Philosophy of Mind and Theism

    Theism is the position that an immensely powerful immaterial mind created and governs the universe. But what is an immaterial mind? In this talk, James Fodor considers this question in the light of cognitive science, considering the various aspects and functions that make up a mind. He argues that it is very difficult to reconcile most of what is currently known about minds with the idea that they can exist without a material substrate, especially when combined with the various traits that theists claim of the divine mind. James therefore suggests that the notion of an all-powerful and all-knowing immaterial mind may be conceptually incoherent. Credit to https://www.FesliyanStudios.com for the background music.

    Sam Harris on Free Will

    Sam Harris' little book on Free Will was published in 2012, gaining a receptive response from scientifically-minded followers. In this first part of a two part series, Allan will put Harris' two key arguments against the human capacity for free will under the microscope.
