Whether barking “What should I celebrate, given finite means and a penchant to depreciate?” or teaching Life Sciences for UCLA’s biology department, Bad Religion frontperson Dr. Greg Graffin has always promoted atheism with the utmost didacticity. So it’s great to see that the Humanist Chaplaincy, “Harvard University’s prominent community of atheists and agnostics,” is giving him the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism. Says Humanist Chaplain Greg Epstein, “So much attention gets heaped onto polemicists like Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens, but Graffin is a truly deserving candidate for the face of atheism,” Two years ago, Greg Gaffin helped me realize that there there truly is no God, so this feels overdue.
