Atlas Society Webinar: Human Nature, Atheism, and the Declaration of Independence
Wednesday July 3, 9pm eastern
Alexander R Cohen
The famous assertion of individual rights in the Declaration of Independence says rights are an endowment from our Creator; religious conservatives sometimes invoke this against secular politics. But tracing the history of the Declaration's philosophy shows that it derives rights from human nature, not divine revelation, and Ayn Rand shows how we can liberate rights principles from God altogether.
