Today (which is the one-year mark since losing the late, great, pastor Bob Enyart- more on that tomorrow) we're going back to Bob's debate with atheist Hemant Mehta, author of "I Sold My Soul on eBay". * Atheist Author of I Sold My Soul on eBay: Hemant Mehta talks to Bob Enyart. Part I of II. And in case you're interested in further discussion with atheists, Bob has also talked to: - ABC's Reginald Finley, called The Infidel Guy, from ABC's Wife Swap program; 3-26-07; - TheologyOnLine's psychologist Zakath in a moderated written online debate, also in soft cover; - John Henderson who wrote the book God.com 6-15-2006; - Carlos Morales, Fox News, Huffington Post, etc. reports on U of Texas atheists Bible-turn in program, president of Atheist Agenda 7-14-10 - Freedom from Religion Foundation founder Dan Barker (put the atheist sign near the Nativity at the capitol in Seattle) who was involved with the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman, one of a group of so-called faith healers. (See a BEL listener who initially compared Bob to Benny Hinn until...) The BEL show was on 12-11-08; - Eugenie Scott, leading anti-evolutionist Ph.D. with the Nat'l Center for Science Education, exhumed 5-6-05; - Michael Shermer, an editor with Scientific American and the Skeptic Society who in this famous 73-second excerpt on BEL denied that the sun is a light, illustrating that it's tough debating atheists when they're hesitant to admit to even the most obvious common ground. 8-28-03 * Special Editions of BEL's Real Science Radio programs: - BEL's famous List of Not-So-Old Things - Bob's debate with Christian Darwinist British author James Hannam - PZ Myers blogs against Real Science Radio so Bob hits back with the Trochlea Challenge - Waiting for Darwin's Other Shoe: Evolution mag's cover story Darwin Was Wrong on the Tree of Life - Microbiologist in Studio: Bob talks with the Creation Research Society Quarterly editor about new genetic findings - Caterpillar Kills Atheism: describe how a bug could evolve to liquefy itself and then build itself into a flying creature - And see the RSR Offer of $2,000 to get 16 letters of the alphabet in their correct places; $500 paid in 1998; $1,500 in 2010...

Hemant Mehta is an author, an activist, and a blogger. Oh, and he's also an atheist. He has been the force behind The Friendly Atheist blog, podcast, website and social media platforms for years. But before you think Hemant's sole purpose is to convert people to atheism, listen to this conversation. He doesn't care to debate anyone on atheism vs religion.  His scope of work goes far beyond tallying atheists to carry on the torch. Hemant's work is about ensuring that belief- or faith-based decisions aren't being made in places where they shouldn't.  We had a fantastic conversation with Hemant. To find him and his work, Google “the friendly atheist” and his work pops up. As he says “it's not hard to find”. Hemant's CV is lengthy. His books, I Sold My Soul on eBay (2007),The Young Atheist's Survival Guide (2012) and The Friendly Atheist: Thoughts on the Role of Religion in Politics and Media (2013) are widely available. His YouTube series, The Atheist Voice, has nearly 220K subscribers. But mostly what you'll hear today is that Hemant is kind, brilliant, articulate and wants to make this world with this life a better place. He is a remarkable and accessible scholar and was a joy of a guest.  "Simply put, I have never seen any evidence of 'God's work' in action. I've seen what people think is God's work, but which actually has perfectly natural explanations. I believe that most people are good, even when nobody's looking. I believe our best path to discovering the truth lies in science, not religion." - Hemant Mehta, 2013

Hemant Mehta is the owner of the largest atheist blog on the web, The Friendly Atheist.   He is the author of I Sold My Soul on eBay, The Young Atheist's Survival Guide, and The Friendly Atheist: Thoughts on the Role of Religion in Politics and Media.  He talks with me about his story and his thoughts on religion in America.  (By the way, you might enjoy an article I wrote for his blog!)

When Leah Libresco recently became a Catholic her story was featured on CNN.  Why?  Because up to that point she had been an atheist blogger. Her story was soon being shared on Christian and atheist blogs.  She talks to atheist blogger Hemant Mehta (aka The Friendly Atheist) about why the moral argument helped her in the journey and he quizzes her over why she chose Catholicism. Listener questions are also included. Leah's blog post on becoming a Christian http://bit.ly/LVz2SN Hemant Mehta's blog post on Leah http://bit.ly/MPKH6m Unbelievable?

Many "New Atheists" have written books claiming that Christianity is bad for people.   Barry Duke is editor of "The Freethinker" - a longstanding humanist magazine and website that seeks to show why religion is bad for the world.  Barry claims that most religious people are weighed down by guilt and that atheism sets people free. Tom Price is an apologist with Damaris and the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics.  He says that his search for happiness was fulfilled when he found Christ as an adult.

Hemant Mehta (author of the friendly atheist blog) was only looking to expand his horizons and raise a little money for a local freethinking student group when he came up with the idea that made him a media sensation. He started a page on eBay where he offered to attend the church of the highest bidder. Stories quickly spread in the media of an atheist "selling his soul" on ebay, which drove the bid higher and higher. Soon Mehta was traveling across the country visiting different churches to make good on his commitment. These church visits became the basis of his book "I Sold My Soul on eBay"--which gave Christians a chance to see church through the eyes of a friendly but critical atheist. For this episode Hemant joins us in the studio to talk about what he saw and how Christian readers reacted to his book.

Host: Chris Mooney Recently at Pomona College in California, three atheists—one of them a Point of Inquiry host—got together to debate the future of the movement. And some sparks flew. Topics raised included the rise of the so-called "nones" (those professing "no religion" in surveys), the lack of representation for atheists in the U.S. Congress, and the debate between moderate or "live-and-let-live" atheism as opposed to a louder and more aggressive version. Despite their disagreement, it was clear that it’s an exciting time for the movement, as atheism  becomes more visible in American life. Where do we go from here? The students in the packed audience have that in their hands. Panel participants were: David Silverman, president of American Atheists. Mr. Silverman attended Brandeis University and specialized in computer science; he worked as an inventor at Bell Labs for 8 years. He then served at American Atheists as national spokesperson, vice president, and finally president, a post he assumed this year. Hemant Mehta writes the "Friendly Atheist" blog and serves on the board of directors of the Foundation Beyond Belief and the Secular Student Alliance. He has also appeared on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and is author of the book I Sold My Soul on eBay, released in 2007. Chris Mooney is a host of Point of Inquiry.
