Unreasonable
Live From SRF: Rep. Jared Huffman
In the House of Representatives there are a handful of secular politicians (some more out than others) who work toward enacting laws uninspired by providence and more by simple reason and innate human morality.
Jared Huffman is a congressman from California. A former Mormon preacher and now self-defined humanist, he co-founded and co-chairs (along with Rep. Jamie Raskin) the Congressional Freethought Caucus, created “to promote sound public policy based on reason, science and moral values, while protecting the secular character of government and championing the value of freedom of thought worldwide.”
We spoke with him in the library of the Lutheran Church of the Reformation across the street from the Capital building, as SRF participants headed out for Hill Day to lobby their representatives.
