DESCRIPTION:Humanism in Puerto Rico: a Light of Reason in the Isle of Enchantment 
 \n\nToday's presentation will cover the history of Puerto Rico's church and 
 state debates since the Paris Treaty to the present. From its cultural 
 ingrained Catholicism to its mixture with Santeria and other pagan 
 traditions, Puerto Rico has a particularly rich variety of traditions that 
 have shaped its present melting pot. And now that a fervent religious right 
 has more politicians in power than ever, this is also a hopeful story of 
 how effective secular humanism can be in shaping the debate and protecting 
 human rights.\n\nAntonio Jose Torres graduated from the University of 
 Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras where he studied economics and accounting. He has 
 been active in the secular movement and did legal research as well as the 
 treasury for Humanistas Seculares de Puerto Rico before moving to 
 California in 2016. Having gone from fervent conspiracy theory believer to 
 skeptic, he discusses some of the most common struggles that millennials 
 are facing in the island between faith and reason.\n\nLectures are free and 
 open to the public. \n
