Scenario

When siblings interpret secular parents' charitable legacy differently

My sister and I inherited money from our secular humanist parents, and we both want to honor their values through charitable giving, but I'm drawn to supporting atheist and rationalist organizations while she wants to fund interfaith cooperation and religious literacy programs, and we can't agree on what our parents would have wanted.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
