Podcast for Inquiry S04E25: Living life as a Humanist, with Steve Ghikadis

Steve Ghikadis is a Humanist Officiant, who conducts secular marriages, memorials, and other life affirming celebrations. Raised as a freethinker, Steve has been married to a Christian for over a decade. Steve serves as an Ambassador for Humanist Canada, Recovering from Religion, and Sunday Assembly.

I speak with Steve about his book, Humanism from the Heart. We discuss the many themes and ideas in his book, including:

  • Why Steve tried to become a believer many times throughout his life
  • Purpose, meaning, and destiny
  • What “soft determinism” means
  • The dynamics of a family with one Christian and one Humanist parent
  • The value of the answer, “I don’t know”.
