Secular support, comfort and hope for people trapped within or leaving behind religious beliefs. A non-judgemental space for people born into a religion who are questioning their religious faith or who feel under pressure to ’keep the faith’ or remain within a religion or vocation they are losing their belief in. Encouraging people to think for themselves, trust themselves and respect their doubts. Life is short. Be you. Be free.

In this second episode of Losing My Religion, Joe Armstrong compares our propensity towards religious belief to our vulnerability to Covid-19, especially when exposed to religion in early childhood. He explores how religious beliefs seeped into his mind as a child, given his family and 1960s Ireland. He also shares a funny tale of his recent purchase of a caravan, its close encounter with a gate post, a steep hill and a raging river! Joe also considers the benefits of online Humanist ceremonies given the ongoing uncertainties of Covid-19.
