A devout atheist and 'humanist chaplain' at Harvard University is set to lead the progressive university's collection of religious leaders.

Greg Epstein, 44, has been named president of the chaplains for the religious community at the Ivy League School. Epstein, who has served as Harvard's 'humanist chaplain' since 2005 is a devout atheist and caters to fellow nonreligious believers as well as agnostics and humanists at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, school.

Epstein, who was raised in a reformed Jewish household in Queens, New York, said his elevation to the position is meant to be inclusive of larger and larger numbers of Americans and especially progressive Harvard students who identify as spiritual but not religious.

Is there such a thing as an Atheist Islamist?

[dynachrome]

The only Reform Jews I knew were the parents of my ex- brother in law. They served us shrimp cocktails when we met them.

Humanism IS Atheism. It puts man in God’s place. Man is the measure of all things. It is the world view of Communism.

The septic tank of what was established as a college to train Pastors!

His photo is kind of creepy.

No such thing as an athiest. You can be agnostic. You can be secular humanist.

Harvard is a terrorist camp.

Atheist rabbi?

Sheesh.

He should know better.

Harvard confirms that atheism is a religion?

All they confirm is that being on their faculty is an old boys club. And this is certainly not the first atheist to hold that position, just the first to be refreshingly honest about it.

He’s a counselor. Why would they call him a Chaplin?

[robel]

Every day is a new level of crazy. For the non-religious, is it hard to ignore that every time the Left purges God out of the culture, the replacement ends up being destructive.

[New Perspective]

You’re an idiot.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think Harvard is wrong. I’m an idiot? Would you care to explain why?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

SMH!

The 40% of students who are not religious or agnostic don't need or want a "head chaplain". This guy is there to attack the faith of religious students.

Maybe they should hire some poli-sci profs who are MAGA?

unlikely

Harvard's going for shock value...

but sadly 'just being an atheist' isn't gonna cut it.. Anymore than being 'Unitarian' works in today's WOKE world... we're past the small stuff...

Harvard University needs an Agender, Cisgender, Genderfluid and Gender Outlaw (depending on the time of day and moon fullness...) the person should have adopted 'challenged' children, and the person should worship evil, and self identify as mailbox. Now THAT'S got shock value.

a genuine rabbi is not an atheist

he may question a lot, people and rabbis can and DO do this...fine and dandy....... but a real rabbi is fundamentally still is a believer

a cleric who is an atheist is a wolf in sheep’s clothes
and not a genuine cleric

[Mashood]

A cleric of nothing.

Atheist rabbi? I believe it was Walker Percy who said that one of the proofs he saw for God’s existence is the preservation of the Jews.

So they agree that atheism is in fact a religion — and a fanatical one at that. It must drive out any other religion.
