Tom Flynn
Is There Really a War
Sunday, November 19 |
|
Conservative pundits accuse that there's a "War on Christmas," an alleged secularist campaign to expel Christmas from public life. Although some liberal secularists deny such a war exists, Free Inquiry editor Tom Flynn disagrees. In his talk he will argue that the traditional Christmas ill-serves our diverse society and richly merits the campaign of social justice activism now pushing it to one side of the public square. Flynn will relate Christmas conflicts to the way American majorities have responded to growing religious diversity since the 1840s. To him, today's right-wing defenders of Christmas have much in common with southern whites whose way of life disappeared during the Civil Rights years. Flynn is also the author of The Trouble with Christmas and editor of the forthcoming New Encyclopedia of Unbelief. $6, or free
