Manage episode 389721368 series 3194798
In this season of holiday cheer, we often witness the goodness on display. From constant utterances of good cheer to charitable acts and contributions, Christmas just seems to bring the best out of humanity. However, far too often, organized religion has had the opposite effect on society. Its adverse history is fraught with conflict, intolerance, and oppression. Throughout centuries, various religious beliefs have been wielded as instruments of power, leading to countless wars, persecution, and discrimination. In the minds of many, religion has woven a complex tapestry of human suffering, division, and intellectual suppression, highlighting the dark side of the influence that organized faith has had on societies throughout history. Today, Marcus and Chuck Cammarata are joined by community advocate Tamara Johnson to take on this polarizing topic.
