We cannot wait for a mainstream naturalistic wave to transform society. As humanity faces its most challenging time our window for change is rapidly closing. Reversing the ever widening gap between accelerating technological change and lagging social progress will require attracting as many people as possible to embrace the Naturalistic Model and stop blaming.
In addition to them coming to feel that the Naturalistic Model and all it implies makes sense, people who are attracted to Naturalistic Humanism but continue to believe some supernatural things are on a journey. Their entire relationship with Naturalistic Humanism represents a huge experiment, in this way they are actually embodying the experimental mindset. Over time, a believer’s involvement with Naturalistic Humanism might result in them adopting a more comprehensive naturalistic worldview.
Regardless of one’s naturalistic orientation, when anyone becomes involved with Naturalistic Humanism the goals are the same — to support them in deriving the personal benefits of applying the Naturalistic Model and experimental mindset to themselves and others. Additionally, that those who embrace the Naturalistic Model will support the public policies it implies.
In contemporary America where there is an increasing plurality of religious, spiritual, and secular beliefs the establishment of Naturalistic Humanist communities will be particularly valuable providing a neutral space where people from diverse backgrounds can interact enjoying safety and respect.
