Carter Warden is a former conservative pastor of 25 years, now openly atheist. Using the pseudonym “Adam Mann”, he was a founder of The Clergy Project, an on-line support group for clergy who no longer believe the doctrines of the churches they serve. “Adam” was one of the original five interviewees in the 2010 Dennett-LaScola article, “Preachers who are not Believers.” While still in ministry, he was interviewed undercover by ABC World News Tonight and the Canadian Broadcasting Company. Last fall he "came out" publicly as an atheist at the Freedom From Religion Foundation's annual gathering. A press release was picked up by the Johnson City Press and Carter was outed to his church, friends, and extended family. In this interview, he talks about that experience, the challenge facing clergy who no longer believe yet who make a living for their families by serving their churches, and the liberation when people are able to be honest with themselves and others about what they really believe. Hear previous interviews on Progressive Spirit with individuals connected to the Clergy Project including Linda LaScola, Daniel Dennett, Dan Barker, Gretta Vosper, Ryan Bell, David Hayward, Pat Green, John Loftus, Bart Campolo, and Jerry DeWitt.

Linda LaScola is a research consultant perhaps best known for her work with philosopher Daniel Dennett in which they speak with pastors who may secretly be atheists. She co-founded the Clergy Project -- a site for religious leaders harboring serious doubts about their faith -- and she is about to re-release her book on the topic, "Caught in the Pulpit," with updates and additions. She also blogs on Patheos at Rational Doubt, a site that features several articles by doubting pastors. We spoke with LaScola about how the Clergy Project began, whether coming out as an atheist (when you're a pastor) is a good or bad idea, and the surprising book that finally turned one pastor into an atheist.

This week my guest is Linda LaScola who along with Daniel Dennett, co-authored Caught in the Pulpit:  Leaving Belief Behind.  This book reports on a study of clergy who are no longer believers.   Are these clergy unusual or are they the canaries in the coal mine signaling the demise of institutional religion?  While that question may not have a clear answer, you will be intrigued by what Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola discovered.  Linda LaScola was one of the organizers of The Clergy Project and she blogs at Rational Doubt.  *(In the interview she stated there are 800 members of the clergy project but meant to say 600).

There have been many theists turned atheists who have confessed that they never believed, but it was a profession.  Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola conducted a study about preachers who don't believe.  I am sure many of us have questioned the validity of some believers testimony. Are skeptical believers a silent majority? Should skeptical believers discuss their confusion or disbelief? Do self-professed believers really know deep down that it's all a ruse? The behaviors of many believers show that they are only giving lip service. Is this being done subconsciously? Are they truly emulating the bi-polar/schizophrenic behavior of many of the mythological characters of the Bible? Is the confusion experienced by many believers a matter of cognitive dissonance? Is God angry or loving? Should they just pray or should they actually help people in need? The Bible tells me it's a sin, but my flesh tells me otherwise. (sexual, sexuality, addiction, lying, etc.).
