in the ten short years between 1985 and 1994, active involvement in community organizations in this country fell by 45 percent. By this measure, at least, nearly half of America’s civic infrastructure was obliterated in barely a decade. - Bowling Alone, Dr. Robert Putnam

Learn from Brittney Hartley at Humanism That Helps next month!
As Christianity declines in the West, many people are discovering that leaving religion means losing more than belief. Christianity historically provided community, ritual, moral frameworks, identity, meaning, ways to understand suffering, practices for decision-making, and stories about death and transcendence.
This presentation explores the emerging meaning crisis, what happens psychologically and socially when those structures disappear, and how we can intentionally rebuild the useful functions of religion without requiring supernatural belief, dogma, or institutional authority.

What a week! Yesterday the United Nations Association Film Festival kicked off its press and publicity (2026 theme: Passion For Change), and now HEATHENS is officially out in the world.
HEATHENS will have its world premiere on Saturday, October 24 at 3:30 PM in Palo Alto, California, followed by a festival panel titled “Different Faces of Religion.”
And that’s just the beginning.
The film has also been added to the Academy Screening Room, where members of the Academy’s Documentary Branch will be able to view this year’s eligible feature documentary contenders ahead of the 99th Academy Awards.
Then, beginning October 30, HEATHENS will open a one-week Oscar-qualifying theatrical run in Los Angeles at the Laemmle NoHo, with three screenings each day through November 5.
More screenings are expected this fall in New York, London, Amsterdam and other cities as the film continues its For Your Consideration campaign.
If you’re in the Bay Area or Los Angeles — or you know someone who is — I’d encourage you to check it out and support the film.
