Jim LoPresti – Ethical Humanists Don’t Pray (or Do They?)
This talk delves into my personal perspective on the intersection of Ethical Humanism and the practice of prayer. While Ethical Humanism is fundamentally non-theistic, the role of prayer-or its secular equivalents-remains a nuanced topic. I will explore how, as an Ethical Humanist, I cultivate meaning, connection, and purpose, redefining prayer in ways that align with humanist values.
