Humanism isn’t the opposite of faith — it’s the opposite of authoritarianism. Unitarian minister Curtis Reese, a co-founder of the American Humanist Association, called humanism “the religion of democracy” for a reason: the radical conviction that truth, morality, and power do not rightly reside in an external source, but in us.
Fish Stark, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association and proud UU humanist, weaves together humanist history, philosophy, psychology, and theology to lay out a blueprint for how UU humanists can lean into the fight against authoritarianism, feed our fire of commitment, and present a compelling vision for what we do believe — not just what we don’t. Come for a rousing affirmation that we are not merely subjects of history, but its authors — the very higher power we have been searching for.
Fish Stark is an organizer, educator, social entrepreneur, and lifelong humanist who has spent his career turning big ideas into bold action in service of belonging, flourishing, and social justice for all people. A self-proclaimed developmental psychology nerd who is passionate about giving everyone the tools to live lives of meaning, service, and self-determination, Fish holds a Master’s in Education with a concentration in child development and psychology from Harvard University, and a Bachelor’s from Yale University with a certificate in Education Studies. While at Yale, Fish served as a student board member of the Yale Humanist Community and received a Dean’s Prize for his work to build a stronger relationship between Yale and New Haven. Fish lives in Annapolis, Maryland, where he is President of the Speaker Mike Busch District 30 Democratic Club, is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis, and serves on several nonprofit boards. He moonlights as an award-winning stand-up comedian and has performed in 13 states.
