Righteous Humanist is not a person; rather, it is an archetype representing the millions of people who are good without beliefs in gods. One goal of Righteous Humanist is to (re)claim ownership of words like “righteous,” which should never have become an exclusively religious concept. More broadly, my goal is to analyze the ways in which religous language, metaphors, expressions, and idiomatic expressions affect society.

Made me think
This podcast made me ponder and pay more attention to my language. It is funny how even in an atheist and agnostic household we use so many religious words. This podcast will make you consider how language does impact society.
