Going Viral: How Young People are Thinking About Humanism and Skepticism

How the Next Generation Is Fighting the Religious Right, One Algorithm at a Time

For many young people today, platforms like TikTok and YouTube have become as influential as any classroom. And if you're online at all, you've seen just how quickly bad ideas like White Christian Nationalism, science denial, and glamorizing religious gender roles (we’re looking at you, tradwives), spread.

But here’s the good news: humanists are the moral majority. And more and more, we’ve got the tools to reach the millions of people who already share our values even if they don’t know the word “humanist” yet.

Join Drew McCoy (Genetically Modified Skeptic), Taylor Pottinger (The Antibot), and a few of the brilliant AHA interns helping move this movement, for an honest conversation about fighting fundamentalism on the new media battlefield. We’ll talk about what’s working, what’s not, and why the next generation of humanists isn’t waiting around to be saved—they’re building something better in real time.
