“Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion: The Wisdom of Jonathan Haidt”

Dr. Michael Sullivan will be presenting a creative understanding of why good people are divided by politics and religion. It is based on the work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt.  Dr. Haidt concludes that “morality binds and blinds”. Using the six foundations of morality derived from his research, we can gain a better understanding of “the righteous mind” that everyone has. This can help bridge political and religious divides and promote greater respect for opposing views.

Politicos on the Left and Right have used the buzz words abundance and scarcity for decades to justify their government policies and practices. But too few have ever paid enough attention to Earth’s all-encompassing ecology—and our UU Seventh Principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.”
