Podcasts about disproving christianity

David G. McAfee joins us to cover an important topic and a key element of his new book, “Hi, I'm an Atheist! What That Means and How to Talk About it with Others”: interacting with the general public as an atheist. Being open about atheism is different for every single one of us. Some of us might have grown up as believers, and then had issues with our family when we left religion. Others might have grown up non-believers, with a family that respected that, and are now wondering what to do when facing angry opposition within the general public. Either way, there's a right – and wrong – way to do it. David G. McAfee is a journalist, religious studies scholar, and author of Disproving Christianity and other Secular Writings, as well as a contributor to American Atheist magazine. McAfee attended University of California, Santa Barbara, and graduated with a dual-degree in English and Religious Studies with an emphasis on Christianity and Mediterranean religions. He lives in California. For RfRx comments, inquiries & topical questions, email us at RfRx@recoveringfromreligion.org.

McAfee on his new book, Hi, I'm an Atheist!: What That Means and How to Talk About It with Others. McAfee and Sweeney speak about the new book, how it helped Sweeney get back in touch with her atheism roots, his journey being raised in a religious household and becoming a non-believer, his challenges as an atheist in a Religious Studies program, what he sees in the bible from a literary perspective rather than from the perspective of a devout christian, and the role religion has in society.

We presume we are right and correct in our beliefs. But, sometimes we are challenged to consider why we believe what we do. In today's podcast, former atheist Robert Kunda takes a closer look at his atheistic presumptions, opening him to new possibilities. Robert mentioned the influence of these Christian thinkers: Hugh Ross (on science): https://reasons.org/about/hugh-ross C.S. Lewis (argument from desire): Mere Christianity William Lane Craig (debates): www.reasonablefaith.org James White (debates): https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/bio/jwhite.html The Side B Podcast was recently listed as #16 on Top 35 Christian Women Podcasts.
