EP25: The Dark Side of the Atheist Movement

Seth Andrews is the host of The Thinking Atheist, one of the top atheist podcasts in the world which has inspired countless rationalists across the globe. Recently, Seth agreed to speak at a conference featuring a controversial YouTuber. As a result, he was attacked by the rabid far-left. When he withdrew from the event after watching one of the YouTuber’s racist videos, he was attacked by the rabid far-right. Is there a dark side to the modern atheist movement? Should he have just spoken anyway? Was he right to request that this speaker be removed? How should the rest of us navigate these issues? Seth joins us—and doesn’t hold back. Listen to our conversation.
