What is the relevance of "community" at all? Why is it important to apply a critical racial lens in conversation around faith, stigma and our future? How do these dynamics show up when we're not looking?
On this episode we study the effect(s) of coercion, exclusion and "othering" through subtle acts of religious supremacy in public policy and government. We first look into rhetoric of government officials desperate to preserve cultural notions of straight, White minority and Christian rule in specific arguments contesting "unenumerated rights". Then we conclude with the voice of Religious Freedom advocate, ally to the Nonbeliever community and Interfaith Advocate, Dr. Sabrina Dent.
Based here in the Washington, DC area, Dent first remarks to Legacy (2020) appear in the previous Episode 8. She has worked tirelessly to reduce stigma among religious minorities-speaking truth to power not only in the public sphere but also within intra-faith circles and organizations.
