Various Viewpoints on RN
The sub-pages or web sites that are linked below present a variety of opinions on Religious Naturalism. There are lots of ways to think of oneself as a Religious Naturalist which means that our philosophies and anthropologies may be a bit different. However our commitment to scholarly and tolerant discourse within our Big Tent makes for an interesting and energizing domicile - a domicile with amiable social aspects to it. We find the discussions/debates within this intellectual home to be challenging, enlightening and downright good-natured fun.
The term Big Tent is a metaphor we use to describe the wide range of beliefs, principles, and backgrounds emphasized by Religious Naturalists. The metaphor seeks to attract people with diverse viewpoints and does not require adherence to some specific ideology as a criterion for inclusion. Indeed, we think of the Big Tent as a consilience of various ideas, so that each of us has both a general home within the broader community, and also a rapport with those who share our ideas. Thus each of us can find agreement in a friendly, collaborative and beneficial way, with perhaps some friendly banter.
