Michael Cammer

Cammer, Michael (20th Century)

Cammer, an artist and academic, has written that he does not believe in any sort of spirituality and, in fact, disdains religion. On the faculty of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he does not discuss religion at the job. Of humanism, he has written:

I find irreconcilable contradiction in how scientists can believe in any religion. Esthetics and knowledge have no need for pseudo-explanations or crutches for worry over non-acceptance of non-comprehension. Anyhow, my credentials as a humanist are that I’m pretty much a lefty or libertarian even though I’d like to make a buck. But I have been remiss; I have done no conspicuous protesting since the Gulf Massacre when I painted a huge NO WAR sign in my painting studio window overlooking the intersection of 125th Street and Broadway in New York City.
