I work at KUOW, Seattle’s NPR-member station. Our local daily show Seattle Now recently saw Pew Research Center data that showed Seattle is tied (with Portland) for the least religiously affiliated people in the country. This piqued the Seattle Now team’s curiosity for what it’s like for people with or without a religion in Seattle. The team would like to host a roundtable discussion between people of different religious and non-religious affiliations to hear them discuss how their lives and communities are shaped by their beliefs, and what it’s like in Seattle in particular.
The discussion will focus on how having or not having a religion can shape a person’s social life and sense of belonging, especially in this city. The discussion will last one hour and be in-person at our station in the U-District. The total time commitment is 90-minutes.
If you’re interested in participating please fill in this short form. You can also find it on our website. As this is a subreddit meant for discussion, your thoughts on the topic are also welcome on this post! We’re hoping to be inclusive to all beliefs to ensure a diverse and enriching discussion.
Thank you to the subreddit mods who chatted and approved this post before I posted!
