Leon Milton Birkhead
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Rev. Leon Milton Birkhead (1885–1954) was an American Unitarian minister who opposed Nazi sympathizers in America in the 1930s.[1] He was in dispute with Gerald Burton Winrod since the 1920s.[2] As the author of The Religion of Free Man (1929) he suggested dropping "God out of consideration," and represented the humanist rather than theist wing of the modern Unitarian church.[3]
