- Vandana says: ‘Not only did I read Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato si’, but I participated in the dialogue at the Vatican on how to redefine economics and move beyond the economics of indifference. When I read Laudato si’ I felt like I was reading our ancient Vedic texts, especially Atharvaveda, about our duty to have respect for the Earth and all its creatures.’ (Vandana Shiva, in Marco Bellizi, ‘Così l’uomo è diventato una tecnologia obsoleta’, Osservatore Romano, Nov. 19, 2020; translation by DeepL.com.

‘Organised religion is the world’s greatest fount of obscurantism, prejudice, superstition and oppression. It has caused misery to billions of people for millennia and continues to do so in many countries. So how come I was once in thrall to it? Nowadays, I am a human rights activist motivated by love and compassion for other people. I do evidence-based campaigning, based on humanitarian and rational values.’ Excerpt from 'My journey from Christianity to Humanism' originally published in Humanism Ireland and used with permission; article now available on the Peter Tatchell Foundation website.
