If you’re up for challenging your beliefs..
I am a former evangelical Christian turned agnostic. This show has been instrumental in breaking down the things I have faith in and whether or not I have good reason for believing those things. It gracefully handles ignorance, false info & unsupported “facts” & “arguments”. I’ve been delighted to hear several callers bring up arguments I once held to be “evidence” for my beliefs. The hosts have carefully & intelligently made mincemeat of them all. I want to shout out Jenna Belk. I recently listened to an older episode that she cohosted. A gentleman called in with some absolutely revolting things to say about LGBTQ+ people being dangerous to society & that they were taking away the rights of Christians. Jenna handled this call with class, grace & love. She didn’t yell, she didn’t insult the caller or become angry. Instead she asked more questions & asked the caller to question his problematic views & whether they comported with reality. I applaud her. I’m LGBTQ+ and I don’t know that I would have been able to hold my cool. If your approach to this show is to stick to your guns no matter what evidence is presented, this show will make you angry. If you approach this show with a willingness to be wrong, to say “I don’t know” & to be challenged this show could change your life for the better as it did mine. Thank you to everyone for your diligence, hard work, patience to keep having these conversations & continued fight to bring logic & critical thinking skills to the world.

Don't expect this to be a bunch of atheists agreeing with each other - it sometimes get quite heated. Best part is the listener phone-ins but usually when the caller is a theist....Read full review »

I tried listening to an episode of The Atheist Experience on a whim, and I now look forward to each new episode's release. A variety of hosts discuss their thoughts and perspectives on atheism, theism, religion, faith, reason, and the interaction among these topics. Callers ask questions...Read full review »
