Humanism and Its Aspirations: American Sign Language Translation

Facebook Twitter Email Share

“Life without God (An ASL translation of the Humanist Manifesto III)” translated by Justin Dean Vollmar.

Justin Dean Vollmar was an ordained Baptist pastor for eleven years and a well-known vlogger in the Deaf community. He produces a weekly video signed in the American Sign Language that average 5,000 views per a video. His YouTube screen name is Virtual Deaf Church. He came out of the closet as an Atheist in 2014 as a graduate of The Clergy Project. He got published in the CNN’s beliefs blog. He then became affiliated with the American Humanist Association in 2014. Ironically, he graduated with a Masters degree in Theology from the Liberty University in 2013. He aspires to receive a PhD in Theology one day as an ‘Atheist Theologian.’ He has continued making vlogs about the Bible, theology, and Christianity, only this time from a non-believer viewpoint. He is also a community leader in the Deaf community. He is serving as a chair of the Wisconsin Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and is the president of his children’s school Parent & Staff Association. His contact information is VDeafChurch@gmail.com.
