Feminism and atheism are âdirty wordsâ that Americans across the political spectrum love to debateâand hate. Throw them into a blender and you have a toxic brew that supposedly defies decency, respectability, and Americana. Add an âunapologeticallyâ Black critique to the mix and itâs a deal-breaking social taboo. Putting gender at the center of the equation, progressive âReligious Nonesâ of color are spearheading an anti-racist, social justice humanism that disrupts the âcolorblindâ ethos of European American atheist and humanist agendas, which focus principally on church-state separation. These critical interventions build on the lived experiences and social histories of segregated Black and Latinx communities that are increasingly under economic siege. In this context, Hutchinson makes a valuable and necessary call for social justice change in a polarized climate where Black womenâs political power has become a galvanizing national force.
