Hi friends. First time on this sub. I'm just beginning on my journey of exploring Humanism (more on my background below), and was wondering if there are any solid recommendations for books/podcasts/online videos/etc to help orient a new learner to the principles of Humanism. I read some of the links pinned on this sub, and recognize that there is no single authority on these matters, but if you have resources that have been helpful in your own journey, I'd be grateful for the recommendation.TIA!

My background: I'm a former evangelical pastor who has been deconstructing for about 5 years, and have very much ramped up that journey in the past 2. After experiencing severe relational and spiritual trauma upon leaving my pastoral position, my family and I wandered through several faith communities before landing in what we thought was a safe and affirming UCC church late in 2022. Sadly, this community has recently revealed itself to be close minded and judgemental as well, which has led to us and many members of our chosen family to leave that church. I now identify as an atheist (agnostic on a good day 😜), but desire to continue to pursue a life of purpose towards advancing peace and justice in the world. The community who is leaving our most recent church with us seems committed to similar goals, but I would love to have additional resources to help shape my new intellectual framework, and to be able to connect with others from similar worldviews for support and community.
