OnlySky is a digital magazine for America’s majority-in-the-making: the nonreligious and secular-minded. We explore life, culture, and the future through science, wonder, and human curiosity.

Secular voters: 21% of the electorate, 72% voted Biden, pattern unbroken since 1980. This is a structural bloc, not a vibe.

Trump told the truth about himself: he hates his opponents and doesn't want the best for them. That honesty forces everyone else to check their own answer.

Should we want the best for MAGA voters?

What are our moral obligations toward people who despise us?

Millions leaving religion. A humanist movement ideally positioned to welcome them. Zero growth. That's not a philosophy problem — it's an organizing failure.

The resurrection of Ethical Culture

Perhaps Ethical Culture, a humanist congregational movement, is dead. But perhaps it can be resurrected. What would that take?

Pacific Northwest modernists rejected the 'mystic' label. They wanted credit for intentionality. In an AI art world, that fight has never been more relevant.

Beyond Mysticism: Authenticity in an AI-generated world

Can AI create art that expresses the spiritual impulse, or is that solely the domain of humans?

57 countries built a fossil fuel phase-out roadmap without the US. Not a protest — a pivot. The electrostate era has a starting date. by @daylightatheism.bsky.social

Petrostates fade, electrostates rise

Climate change is already pressing down upon us. And as the world heats up and the seas rise, the United States is pouring gasoline on the blaze. Donald Trump's administration will be reviled as the worst climate villains in history. They've closed their eyes and shut their ears to expert

Gen Z is 44% nonreligious. The Secular Student Alliance lost half its chapters. Those facts don't contradict — they're the same story.

The shrugging seculars

Gen Z is the most secular generation, but they wear it lightly. Is that shrugging attitude about to change?

Space tourism already exists. It just costs millions. Reusable rockets + market competition = the same curve that made flying ordinary. The 2040s are the hinge. by @susanfourtane.bsky.social

How close are we to space tourism?

We might be vacationing beyond Earth by 2050.

Leaving religion is easy. Leaving behind the questions religion was answering — that's the harder work. Order, purpose, narrative: secular frameworks keep bumping into the same wall. https://onlys.ky/why-is-rejecting-religion-so-hard/ #SecularHumanism #Philosophy #MeaningMaking #Religion
Why is rejecting religion so hard?

Secular thinkers should be open to all varieties of human experience.

A humanist leader spent a decade trying to build godless congregational community. Then he stopped. His autopsy of Ethical Culture is worth reading slowly.

Ethical Culture is dead. Long live congregational humanism!

Sometimes you need to give up on something you love in order to build something new. Trust me, I've been there.
