The Thinking Atheist: A Look at the Modern Atheist Movement

In this week’s show our guest is Seth Andrews, a former Christian broadcaster and believer for 30 years. He is the host of "The Thinking Atheist" a very popular podcast and an activist of atheist community on the internet.Mr. Andrews shared a brief summary of the modern atheist movement and the different groups that make up this phenomenon. An advocate for "Free-Speech" and the free exchange of ideas, Mr. Andrews talked about the limited understanding that the authors of religious texts had.To him atheists have a strong sense of justice and battle against "belief" which is the most important element of religion; as compared to atheism which is based in fact-checking and empirical evidence. He shared his family dynamics and how his personal views clash with his fundamentalist Christian upbringing which considers having doubt and asking questions to be blasphemous.Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.
