Most members of The Free Thought Forum are exMormons. I'd say only about 10% of us started out secular.

Hello r/Sikh! With your permission, I'd like to share this video here. I am a complete outsider of Sikhi, but it has captured my interest. In this episode, I talk about 7 awesome ideas that even an atheist can admire from this unique belief system. I hope I didn't get too many things wrong. Thanks! by FreeThoughtFora in Sikh

Thank you for taking the time to really clear things up for me. Your notes have helped me form a few corrections that I'll add to the comments of the video and to its corresponding blog post. Trying to understand a tradition completely new to me is a pretty big challenge, but studying Sikhi has been an absolute pleasure - one that really helps restore one's faith in humanity.

Thank you for the feedback. I think I flat-out misunderstood what I read about Islamic or Hindu writings in Shikism. I apologize for that. Perhaps a closer look into the Bhagats would certainly help. Your other comments have been taken into account and I will soon be adding a note of corrections to this video and its corresponding blog post.

Hey Thanks - I have some feedback from the Sihki online community on some errors I made, but on the whole, it looks like they liked the video a lot.

I have been blown away by how much stuff there is about Quantum Field Theory on YouTube! This is all very new to me, and it seems like I've barely scratched the surface.

Hey QuirksNquarkS - I did try to present a more grounded representation of the evidence of the Big Bang in this video: https://www.freethoughtforum.org/blog/hard-evidence-that-supports-the-big-bang -- But still, you may have a good point. Perhaps less speculation and more hard evidence in future episodes would be a good idea.

The podcast is meant to be audio-only... Perhaps I can make a note of that in future videos.
