The ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ ²ÑÄå²Ô´Ç²¹ Pilina Support Team, ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ ²ÑÄå²Ô´Ç²¹ Ä€nuenue Center, The Interfaith Alliance HawaiÊ»i and the HawaiÊ»i Secular Society present a Faith in Difficult Times series event, Atheism: Humanism in Action featuring speaker Scott Kidd with the HawaiÊ»i Secular Society.

Can we work toward a better society without a belief in God? Explore secular humanism and how reason, ethics, and shared human values can inspire social responsibility and meaningful change. Join us for an engaging conversation about how students and members of the university community can draw on critical inquiry, compassion, and collective action to address societal challenges and contribute to a more just and equitable world.

As a child, speaker Scott Kidd was drawn to science and curious about the world around him, he often wondered what lay beyond the stars and how all this came to be. During his time at St. Louis University, Scott’s theological studies included many different world religions, mythology, and philosophy courses. After graduating college, he began to explore the world of secular humanism with his newfound community. As his journey continued, Scott became a member of the American Humanist Association (AHA), American Atheists (AA), and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State (AU). After moving to Hawaiʻi and searching for community in Oahu, Scott came across the Hawaii Secular Society where he has been a member since 2019 and an active organizer since 2022.
