Why do all the world’s major religions have patriarchy and the enslavement of women at their core? And why should everyone who cares about equality and liberation for women fight against the shackles of religion?
Sunsara Taylor will explore these questions with regards to the conditions of women worldwide, but with an emphasis on dispelling any illusion that religion — and Christianity in particular — is any more “enlightened” as it is practiced here in the U.S. She will draw from AWAY WITH ALL GODS! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World by Bob Avakian.
Sunsara Taylor writes for Revolution Newspaper, sits on the Advisory Board of The World Can’t Wait, and is a co-host on “Equal Time for Freethought” on WBAI radio in NYC.

I’m sorry, I’m a bit confused. From the link, it looks like this talk happened two years ago. Is she giving another presentation this year?
Yes, Sunsara will be talking to us again this Sunday. After the show, the podcast will be uploaded at the link at the bottom of this post.
Sweet, thanks! I look forward to listening to it.
But doesn’t it seem like she’s comparing apples to oranges? I mean, Halloween is about fun. Religion is about anything but fun. How could one fill a vacuum that the absence of the other left behind? Apples and oranges.
