Tsunami of empowerment

Over the last few days, I’ve had so many conversations with co-workers, family, and friends about the wave of (mostly) women coming forward (in the US) to report workplace sexual harassment. Without exception, every woman I’ve spoken with has said, “me too.” Every one of them.

I’m thrilled that this power in numbers is giving courage to so many and devastated (but not really surprised) it is being revealed to be so common.

How does this connect to atheism? It demonstrates that embracing the courage to say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gunna take it anymore,” is a powerful tool in the path of humanity’s maturation. This path includes ridding the world of institutional favoritism based on religion.
