'Godless Harlot' and The Brights

| 11 Comments

"Advice Goddess" Amy Alkon shows up in the new Psychology Today quoted as a member of The Brights, described in the piece as "a growing group of atheists, humanists, and free-thinkers" with "a naturalistic worldview that rejects supernational and mystical thinking."

Syndicated advice columnist Amy Alkon, who has slapped the sobriquet "Godless Harlot" on her business card, puts it this way: "Our country is run by [religious] fundamentalists in so many areas that it's important to come out of the closet."

The Jan-Feb issue isn't online, but she discusses the piece on her (Los Angeles-based) blog.
