"American Freethought," a four-part documentary presented by the Council for Secular Humanism and written, produced, and directed by Roderick Bradford, probes our nation's freethought, atheist, and humanist heritage from the American Revolution to the 1930s. Please click "Read more" for further details . . . The series was presented over a five-week period beginning in early February (we missed one week because of bad weather), but for those of you missed one or more of those presentations, the series is being presented, once again, on consecutive Wednesdays beginning March 18th. Each part lasts for about one hour, leaving time after each presentation for group discussion. The first of these screenings will begin at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, March 18th, and will take place in Conference Rooms 1 and 2 at the East Library and Information Center, 5550 North Union Boulevard in Colorado Springs. Parts one and two of the documentary will be presented. Part one, "The founding of the nation, rich in religious contradictions," will explore Ethan Allen, America's first freethought author; Thomas Jefferson; Thomas Paine's life, career, and seminal book "The Age of Reason"; the rise of the abolition movement, when some radical abolitionists broke from the churches; Elizur Wright; and Lucretia Mott. Part two, "The abolition movement seeds the women's rights and freethought movements," will examine Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Seneca Falls women's rights conference; suffragist-freethinker Matilda Joslyn Gage; Darwin's "Origin of Species"; religious resistance' the American Tract Society; Robert Green Ingersoll, the "Great Agnostic"; America's first Culture Wars; and more. Part three, "The mainstream press and the alternative press" will follow one week later, March 25th, at 7:00 pm, followed by part four, "The rise of Roman Catholicism" on April 1st, same time and place. We hope you can join us -- everyone is invited and admission is free!
