The Kochar Humanist Education Center publicly offers a wide range of materials for adults and children. From lesson plans and presentations to education manuals and a teacher corps, the center advocates for humanist values by offering the resources needed to educate based on them. Take a look and see if there isn't something you find useful. And, if you're a teacher, consider joining the Humanist Teacher Corps.

Comment by Brian Magee on December 20, 2011 at 1:39pm (AHA Executive Director Roy Speckhardt's most recent Patheos column is up.)
Faith isn't possible for those who doubt, experiment, and accept the facts presented when religious claims are honestly tested.
Eric Weiner's recent wishy-washier-than-thou New York Times article, "Americans: Undecided About God?", presents a curious new bias to decipher when it comes to religion and nonbelievers.
Weiner walks in well-worn shoes when he tries to tackle a cultural issue by opening with a complaint and offering a possibly better path. He says we are terrible when it comes to talking about god and asks for a new "religious operating system." But he's sadly lacking in clarity and hopelessly striving for impossibility.

Celebrating Love and Light: 10 Holiday Tips for the Post-Religious
By Valerie Tarico
Is the holiday season more glitter than glow for you lately? For a humanist who seeks to live a life centered in reason and compassion, the holiday time can be surprisingly challenging. Old traditions may not fit anymore, but what does? We see ourselves as an integral part of nature, and the beauties of the winter season surround us, but how can you bring the season into your home in a way that feels rich and satisfying? We humanists find meaning in relationships, but reunions can be fraught with peril. If an old Christian friend or family member uses Christmas cards or gatherings as an opportunity to evangelize, you may even find yourself feeling downright crabby. How can you shake it off?
