From Footnotes to Faith: Wikipedia Co-Founder Larry Sanger Talks Bias, Beliefs & Broken Neutrality

On this episode of the podcast, Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia talks with Amanda Head on a wide variety of topics. From unfiltered conversations about how one of the internet’s most powerful information platforms drifted from its original mission to a personal journey converting to Christianity from atheism. Sanger explains how Wikipedia evolved from a neutral, geek-driven experiment into what he argues is a left-leaning institution, one that systematically marginalizes conservative and libertarian viewpoints through opaque editorial policies and ideological gatekeeping. He lays out specific reforms he believes could restore credibility, including radical transparency and allowing competing articles on contested topics.The Wikipedia co-founder also shares his deeply personal journey from atheism to Christianity. He details years of serious theological study, philosophical inquiry, and what he sees as compelling evidence for biblical prophecy and truth claims. He reflects on why Christianity ultimately provided answers secular philosophy could not.Finally, Sanger previews his upcoming blog and premium platform, where he plans to dive deeper into philosophical theology, political thought, and structured seminars for serious thinkers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
