• Episode 6: Sacrilegiosity •

• The Hosts ~ Shea Bilé & Matt Johnson •

- On this episode of Deferred Gnosis:

Good without gods – we investigate and debate the concept of secular religion. Secular Humanism, The Cult of Reason, The Ethical Culture Movement, Syntheism, The Satanic Temple - we discuss the historical precedence and the rise of secular religious movements.

We interview Samuel Hartman and Zak Denham of the black metal band, Anagnorisis.

- We passionately investigate secular religion:

• Secular Religion... the problem of definition.
• Is Secular Humanism a religion?
• The history of religious humanism.
• The religious fervor of the Ethical Culture Movement.
• Supreme Court rulings - how the State weighs in.
• Matt argues that supernatural beliefs are central to religion.
• Shea calls for the necessary evolution of religious and spiritual thought - divinity after the death of god.
• Can we trust the religious to define religion?
• The future of spiritual expression in an increasingly secular world.

- An in-depth interview with Samuel Hartman and Zak Denham of Anagnorisis:

• Beyond all Light - the music of Anagnorisis.
• The philosophy of progressive anti-religion and its role in their adversarial artistic expressions.
