Such an honour to talk to the most important people in the world (religion and worldview teachers) about the Sentientism worldview's "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings."
Sentientism podcast episode 210 is a cross-post of my appearance on Louisa Smith's 🤩 The RE Podcast. I hope you enjoy. Go subscribe to both!

Feedback from the Northern #RETeacher network 💚:
"Absolutely loved the Sentientism discussion. Ironically, as teachers we don’t learn enough new stuff! Can’t wait to implement it."

I was in London yesterday, to see A Strange Loop, and watching that powerful reflection on the impact of religious-based homophobia (especially on the same day as London’s Pride festival!) reinforced the importance to me of ensuring Religious Education in UK schools doesn’t reproduce religious bigotry, and that it actively challenges harmful religious narratives of exclusion that can make our LGBTQ+ students feel victimised and attacked in the supposedly safe-space of the classroom rather than amplify them. I speak about some of the ways I’ve tried to challenge religious homo/trans/bi phobia in my own RE teaching in my book, Anarchist Atheist Punk Rock Teacher ( https://www.earthislandbooks.com/product-page/anarchist-atheist-punk-rock-teacher-by-dan-mckee ) and recommend it as reading for any current RE/RS teacher.

Today teaching my Year 7s about saints, I learned that St Drogo is the patron saint of unattractive people! I’ve named him the patron saint of my classroom. #Saints #PatronSaints #Theology #RETeacher
