What Is True? An Introduction to Secular Humanism

Those who wish to pursue a life of pure reason are often attracted to the movement known as secular humanism. This program explores the movement by presenting several humanist inquiries, including: How and why do religions develop? Can morality exist without religion? Is there a humanist narrative that can take the place of myth? How can public policy become truly rational? The film features explanations from prominent humanist figures—Dr. Paul Kurtz, founder of the Council for Secular Humanism; Dr. Christopher diCarlo, University of Ontario philosophy professor; Toni Van Pelt, women’s rights activist; Ronald Bailey, science correspondent for Reason magazine; and others. (41 minutes)
