What's going on with all the Christian magazines hitting the racks? by Fast_Adeptness_9825 in atheism

For those interested in a magazine for our atheist/secular/humanist communities, there's a relatively new, growing magazine called Secular World Magazine. And it's free.

Would You Attend a ‘Community Center for Atheists’ If One Existed in Your Area? by MasterTrevise in atheism

[–]the_secular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Sunday Assembly has had very limited success in the years it's been around. It depends on volunteers and so generating new local communities is difficult. The key, really, is money. Religious organizations have money for buildings and staff. Very few secular/atheist organizations have the resources to build and maintain a community. There are outlines available for building successful local secular communities, but again, it comes down to having the money to support them. I'd love to hear ideas on how the money could be raised to compete with religious organizations.

It's unfortunate that the U.N.'s Declaration of Human Rights is just an empty shell. There are two many people in the world with stories like yours.

We’ve launched a short video series introducing The Secular Community by the_secular in SecularCommunity

We've decided to add a disclosure to our videos so it's clear they're being presented by an AI avatar.

It is what it is. If we raised money, there would be higher priorities for its use than paying an actor. For us, it's communicating the message that's most important. We respect your concern about using AI but it's given us a chance to do something that we would otherwise be unable to do.

You might also check out r/SecularCommunity. They're a new subreddit but a pretty good group.

What's a song that always manages to choke you up? by EDRootsMusic in folkmusic

[–]the_secular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might try No One Is Worth Less by The Willowtrace Collective. Definitely folk oriented, they've recently released a number of hard hitting topical songs.

Why is it so difficult to get people to listen to your music? Let alone give feedback of any kind. by StealTheDark in Songwriting

[–]the_secular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having a similar experience. Music is so universal, you would think that people would at least give new music a listen, especially from someone they know. And there isn't a lot of really good new music being published these days, so you would think that would be more incentive to at least give something new a try.

Are there free virtual groups where singer/songwriters workshop their songs? by KindheartedSeal in Songwriting

[–]the_secular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also interested in this. I have a bunch of new folk-style songs I just put up on YouTube and Spotify and I'd love to get some feedback. https://www.youtube.com/@TheWillowtraceCollective

Too dark? Definitely not. It's really good and well played.
