My religion—Catholicism—was presented to me as Holy Armor, to be worn as protection against the evils of the world. But armor tends to rust, as mine certainly did. So I see the world through the lens of secular humanism. Also, pop quiz: what does a bodhisattva and an escapee from Plato's Cave have in common?…
