Nearly 400 Years After Being Founded to Begin Teaching America's Ministers, Harvard Elects New Chief Chaplain – an Atheist

It’s been clear for a long time that Harvard is no longer Harvard.

An institution that was founded in 1636 and once educated the best and brightest of young American minds has turned into just another progressive university.

But what people forget around Harvard is that it trained members of the clergy in its early years. And based on that standard, the university has really jumped the shark.

According to The New York Times, Harvard has unanimously elected a new chief chaplain — an atheist. His name is Greg Epstein, and he wrote the book “Good Without 🙏God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe.”

Epstein, who took office the week of Aug. 23, has been the humanist chaplain at Harvard since 2005, educating students about the movement that centers the relationships of people with each other instead of with 🙏God.

“There is a rising group of people who no longer identify with any religious tradition but still experience a real need for conversation and support around what it means to be a good human and live an ethical life,” Epstein, 44, told the Times.

You would think this unorthodox selection would cause some  controversy on campus
