Genetically Modified Skeptic: Religion & Belief
by Genetically Modified Skeptic
I make videos about religion from a secular perspective and try to be compassionate in the process. Here you'll find collaborations with scholars of religious studies, essays about religion and psychology, personal stories from my life as a fundamentalist Evangelical Christian turned agnostic/atheist, responses to some religious content, and more. I'm not an anti-theist and don't care about creating more atheists. I care about helping viewers critically examine ideas about religion, whether they are religious or not.
