Mark Alan Smith Righ
Mark Alan Smith Department of Political Science University of Washington Right from Wrong: The Folly of Religious Arguments about Morality Forthcoming 2022 Prometheus Books Chapter 3 Discovering Morality through Inclusive Deliberation Atheists are strikingly unpopular, especially in America. When asked several years ago whether they “would disapprove if my child wanted to marry” an atheist, 44% of Americans said yes, much greater than the number for African Americans (23%), Jews (18%), and Hispanics (13%).1 Only 58% of Americans would vote for a well-qualified candidate from their party who happened to be an atheist, whereas many more would vote for someone who was Catholic (93%), female (92%), Black (92%), Mormon (81%), or gay or lesbian (74%).2 Many atheists report being ostracized from their families after publicly declaring their non-belief in God,3 and résumés that mention a person’s affiliation as an atheist are less likely to get a response from prospective employers.4 These negative attitudes toward atheists reflect a common belief that they readily lie, cheat, and steal when it serves their interests. Research documenting those perceptions has been 1 conducted by psychologist Will Gervais, who developed a clever test to capture beliefs about who commits the greatest number of moral transgressions. He found that Americans think atheists are much more likely than members of groups defined by race, religion, and sexual orientation to commit murder, engage in incest, kick a dog, cheat at cards, disrespect an employer, eat human flesh, ridicule an obese woman, and renounce national and family ties.5 In a country where nearly half the population deems it “necessary to believe in God to be moral,” as one survey indicates, atheists seem to threaten order and decency.6 As it turns out, Christian apologists are usually more generous than the general public when talking about atheists. -

Congress of the United States Washington D.C
Congress of the United States Washington D.C. 20515 April 29, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: As Congress continues to work on economic relief legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you address the challenges faced by the U.S. scientific research workforce during this crisis. While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S. -

LA SAILING WORLD CUP HYÈRES TOULON PROVENCE MÉDITERRANÉE DU 25 AVRIL AU 1ER MAI 2016 DOSSIER DE PRESSE 2 Le mot Chaque sport, chaque discipline a ses épreuves de référence. Quand il s’agit de voile et plus spécifiquement de « voile olympique », le circuit de référence est la « Sailing World de Jean-PierreÉDITO Cup ». Composée de cinq étapes, cette Coupe du Monde ne s’arrête qu’à deux reprises Champion en Europe. Une « chez nous » à Hyères, l’autre en Angleterre. ÉDITO Nous sommes très fiers que World Sailing (Fédération Internationale de Voile) nous ait confié l’organisation de cette épreuve. Leur choix s’appuie sur de nombreux critères tels que la qualité du plan d’eau, qui à Hyères n’est plus à démontrer, la qualité de l’organisation à terre comme en mer, mais aussi la viabilité financière de l’événement. La FFVoile réunit de nombreux critères, tout particulièrement grâce au soutien fidèle de Toulon Provence Méditerranée et à l’investissement de la Ville de Hyères. Comme tous les quatre ans, l’organisation de l’événement à quelques mois des Jeux Olympiques représente un challenge encore plus intéressant. Tous les meilleurs mondiaux et tous les futurs sélectionnés au plus grand événement sportif au monde seront à Hyères. L’Equipe de France et ses quinze sélectionnés auront à cœur de montrer, à domicile, qu’il faudra compter sur eux cet été au Brésil. Nous espérons que vous serez nombreux à venir à Hyères pour assister notamment aux finales le 1er mai sur le grand écran que nous avons installé afin que tous, nous puissions suivre les courses et encourager les coureurs Français. -

What have you been doing News during your “free time” as you’ve withdrawn to the safety of your 4 Summer Birthdays; home and had your schedule Membership Matters changed by cancellations and long -term delays? 5 New Scandinavian Before the virus I had a good Cooking number of days and hours set 6 Scandinavian Cooking aside for Sons of Norway activi- ties. It was a difficult decision to (cont’d); Friluftsliv cancel the Scandinavian Viking 7 Scholarships from Sons Festival at the end of March, but of Norway Foundation in retrospect, by not gathering hundreds of people (most over the 8 Desert Fjord Information age of 60) in packed rooms, we may have saved lives. The District 6 Convention, scheduled to be held in Mesa in June, has been postponed until 2022. Desert Fjord Lodge decided to cancel the April meeting, the Syttende Mai picnic, and all other events until this Fall. Our lodge leadership will be meeting over the summer to determine when and how we may safely resume meetings. I certainly miss seeing each of you, enjoy- ing fellowship, sharing a meal and learning more about my heritage. Despite having all of this new-found “free time”, I still find my- self lacking time to do everything on my wish list. -

To attain this high purpose, the Academy places greatest emphasis upon these four points: First, it is the Academy's aim to assemble only the highest types of students—deserving youths of good parentage—to assure wholesome associations and greater progress. Every pre caution is taken to keep undesirable boys—all those that might prove detrimental to others— out of the Academy. Second, to employ only men of highest character and ability for its faculty. It is not enough for a Wentworth faculty member to be merely a scholar and a splendid instructor. He must also possess a spirit of friendliness and a sincere desire to give kindly help whenever necessary. He must thoroughly understand the innermost problems of boys—be patient with them—and be ready to serve each boy to the best of his ability. Third, to provide the very best equipment throughout every department to the end that every boy will have all those things necessary to his health and happiness and that none shall want for anything that will help him to make progress.
