Importance of Being Honest About Non-Belief

In the podcast episode, Kate Cohen discusses her book 'We of Little Faith', which explores her experience as an atheist and the importance of being honest about non-belief. She emphasizes that her goal is not to convince believers to become non-believers, but to encourage non-believers to be open and forthright about their views. Cohen highlights the societal pressure to conform to belief systems, particularly in America, and the difficulty she faced in admitting her atheism. She recounts her journey of self-discovery and the moment she decided to be honest about her lack of belief when raising her children.
