Phil Zuckerman, a professor of secular studies at Pitzer College, is the new editor of OnlySky, and oversees a stable of 50 writers. He outlines the goals of OnlySky, one of which is to erase the stereotype of atheists and other non-believers as angry white men. How will OnlySky attract voices of color?

What is a Secular Media Platform?: OnlySky Founder Shawn Hardin February 25, 2022
Founder Shawn Hardin, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist with a background in film, believes OnlySky will be a one-of-a-kind media platform because of its secular orientation. He says “99.4 percent of all those who've come to the site believe that explicitly secular non-religious perspectives are not well-represented in American society and culture or politics.” Is that true?

Diversity and Non-Belief: Sociologist Juhem Navarro-Rivera on OnlySky February 25, 2022
As a demographer at the helm of SocioAlalytica, Dr. Juhem Navarro-Rivera studies people like him – atheists, agnostics, “Nones” and other non-believers of color. He says non-believers of color have extra challenges in “coming out” and that OnlySky can provide them with a much-needed “counterpublic” – a place to find each other and share their own narratives.
