[6] In her book, Moral Combat, she examines what she views as the hijacking of civil rights by the Christian Right; the connections between humanism, feminism and social justice; the importance of humanism for pre-college education; the backlash of religious fundamentalism, in the vein of the Tea Party, against progressive public policy; and the efforts of atheists of color to challenge the "New Atheist" movement, which values a narrow conception of science and disregards both social and also economic justice.

Hutchinson frames her critique in the contemporary realities of working- and middle-class African-American communities which are just as steeped in the tradition of religiosity-due to capitalism and de facto segregation—as they are in the cultural trappings of the Black Church.

She believes that there is a large community of black non-believers on social media sites, but it is important for these people to find a "sanctuary from the hyper-religiosity that African-Americans are steeped in".

[8] The group was featured in a May 2012 article[9] that chronicled how greater numbers of African Americans were leaving religious faith and adopting atheism and freethought.

"[10] Much of Hutchinson's work focuses on the cultural and social history of African-American secular humanist thought and its role in black liberation struggle.

[15] Hutchinson subscribes to a radical humanist vision that eschews religious and social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, class, and ability status because they undermine the universal human rights, bodily autonomy, and self-determination of Black and BIPOC peoples.

For Black and BIPOC communities, radical secular Humanism reinforces the cultural legitimacy, visibility, and validity of secular humanists, freethinkers, and atheists of color within the context of a white supremacist, heterosexist, patriarchal, economically disenfranchising ideological regime which is based on racial capitalism and equates morality with Abrahamic religious paradigms and beliefs.
