Deconverted: A Journey from Religion to Reason
Deconverted: A Journey from Religion to Reason | Seth Andrews
6 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
..".and then Noah loaded the dinosaurs onto the ark." Assertions like these seem comical until you realize that many Christian parents aren't kidding when they teach them to their children as facts. Every day, impressionable young minds are conditioned to blindly accept wild biblical tales of floating zoos, talking shrubbery, 900-year-old humans, the undead, curses, levitation, demon/human hybrids and men who obtain super-human strength from the length of their hair. Allegiance to these teachings is expected, often demanded. Curiosity is muted. Doubt is frowned upon as a sin. And for those who dare to raise a dissenting hand, the threat of Hell looms ominously. A former religious radio host raised in the cradle of Christianity, Seth Andrews battled his own doubts for many years. His attempts to reconcile faith and the facts led him to a conclusion previously unthinkable, and this once-true believer ultimately became the founder of one of the most popular atheist communities on the internet.

Deconverted was a humorous, relatable, and inspiring read. Seth Andrews tells his unique story - from growing up in a religious fundamentalist family in the US bible belt and working as a deeply religious, popular Christian radio host to becoming the host of the most downloaded atheist podcast, The Thinking Atheist.

I attended his Minneapolis event with the Minnesota Atheists in September. He‘s an excellent speaker and was very personable.

(Seth Andrews‘ Ghost Stories isn‘t in Litsy yet.)

This was a fun listen! The production is excellent. Seth has an amazing voice and his narration is fantastic. In addition to Seth, there are nine other voice actors. The stories featured realistic sound effects and chilling background music.

I met Seth Andrews at the September Minnesota Atheist event, he was the featured speaker. His podcast is currently the highest downloaded atheist podcast.

Wow, I devoured this book in one day! A quick read. As a fledgling atheist, I really enjoyed Seth's story. So much of it resonated with me. Recommended for anyone who grew up fundamentalist Christian and has doubts or is apostate. You are not alone!

Starting this now. Met the author in September and got a signed copy. Always makes the reading a little more special. :)
