Kimberly Veal - Extended Interview | African Americans for Humanism

African Americans may be the nation's most religious minority, but the churches and religious leaders don't speak for many of us.

@holleracturboy And that's where we come in. In the U.S., we are bombarded with dogma. Whether its religious, social or political, its dessiminated and it leads people astray because if you don't think about what you're listening to, you become a puppet to propaganda. That's why we have this movement for freethought and Humanism because Religion and its proponents have failed humanity and now its the humans turn to think for themselves. And we're helping to lead the movement.

@Blackman1000ify If they can understand it. To break them out of the religious shell,they have to become open mined. And majority of them are not. They are stuck in a spiritual realm that offer them supernatural abilities. And it's very hard unbrainwash a brainwash person. lol

@holleracturboy There is a cure brother, secular humanism.

@Blackman1000ify Religious people have a belief of fantasy. Some of them are very smart people, highly intelligent i just don't see the delusional thinking manifesting in their thinking ability. I think its a form of mental illness that no psychiatrist had diagnose.
