Greg Epstein, 44, will lead the organization. He is a humanist who grew up in a Jewish household. Epstein will take his new position next week.
“There is a rising group of people who no longer identify with any religious tradition but still experience a real need for conversation and support around what it means to be a good human and live an ethical life,” Epstein, the author of Good Without God, told the New York Times.
“We don’t look to a god for answers,” he said. “We are each other’s answers.”

Epstein is a humanist chaplain at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He has been one of Harvard’s chaplains since 2005. The Times reported that he has been “teaching students about the progressive movement that centers people’s relationships with one another instead of with God.”
According to Epstein’s bio, he is interested in “ethics in technology; meaning and purpose beyond religion; existentialism and humanism in literature and popular culture; developing healthy masculinity from a feminist perspective; secular humanistic Judaism; racial justice and healing; and the philosophy and practice of interfaith work.”
I have tried to show my kid around a paper copy of @nytimes on a weekly basis since he was 2 or 3, and I want to say that bought me 1 second of excitement from him, to see his dad's picture in print today. But I don't want to overstate the case!
