Publisher's Synopsis
The text in Significant Secular and Sacred Matters in America contains nineteen commentaries, nine on secular matters and ten on sacred matters.The secular materials focus on various matters in American society, including the reprehensible treatment of war veterans, racism by celebrities, Congress' usurpation of citizens' rights, and other issues. The sacred matters focus on religious privilege, the terrorism inherent in Christianity, the enigmatic genesis of Jesus, the evil of Yahweh, and more. An American citizen, military veteran, and secular humanist (which benighted people confuse with "atheist") wrote all the commentaries. His intent was to edify fellow citizens, who perhaps never thought of matters the way the author does, due to social indoctrination, indifference, and willful ignorance.After teaching for thirty-five years at three universities in Michigan, H. G. Hastings-Duffield retired in 1997 and now lives in Atlanta.
