This week on RfRx, John Gleason (Godless Engineer) joins us to talk about his deconversion from religion, dealing with shame and loss of close relationships as a result, and using his background in computer and software engineering to build an online community. John argues that “godless” is a term that signifies religion is a part of our past, a fact of which we shouldn't be ashamed. Godless Engineer is an ex-Christian who has worked to build an online community of secular skeptics that analyze apologist claims to give people the best information so they can stand up and use their voices. He focuses on the intersection of Atheism, secularism, religion, politics, history, and science. Currently creating videos and social media content to educate his audience on these topics.
