LINK Harvard Has A New Chief Chaplain And He's An Atheist : NPR

Greg Epstein is the author of Good Without God. In his new role, he will oversee the activities of all religious communities on campus. His personal beliefs or disbelief don't seem to be an issue.

It may come as a surprise to some, but there is a Secular Humanist chaplaincy program where chaplains are taught to give pastoral care based on humanist principles.

I’m a responder for the Unitarian Universalist Traum Response Ministry. Similar idea.

That's very good news.

I saw this piece re: Harvard and hope to establish a similar group on my campus

Guess, you for sure cannot blame anything on God when ever an illogical atheist takes over religion.

The vote by his fellow chaplains was unanimous. ❤️

Harvard must be a very enlightened college.

Good it sounds like he’ll apply more psychology than theology, as we can all see the nation has been in need of psychological help since Nixon.

This country has needed psychological help and moral guidance since 1776. I don't see either one happening.

Not an issue to us. It's gotta be an issue to THEM
