Abstract

This chapter titled “Us vs. Them: But Who is Us and Who is Them?” is written by Herb Silverman, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the College of Charleston. He is also Founder and President Emeritus of the Secular Coalition for America. Silverman’s chapter argues that effectively relating to the non-humanist world first requires humanists to better relate to one another. Humanists should focus on their own commonalities to gain more social and political influence. He concludes with a practical and memorable list of do’s and don’t’s.
