Alyssa Grenfell: Ex-Mormon & Messiah of Mediocrity

The excuses she makes for the acceptance of religion are far more important than the reasons she's given for its rejection. Within just the last few months, Alyssa Grefell has seemingly stumbled into her role as "the face of atheism", but, already, mistakes she is making (in that accidental leadership role) illustrate why (and how) this still incipient political movement is stumbling as a whole.

JD Vance: Atheist or Catholic, American Cicero or American Caesar.

J.D. Vance is one of the most important examples of an "ex-atheist", and he didn't merely revert to Christianity, but converted (for the first time) to Catholicism, for avowedly intellectual reasons that you'll find specified and cross examined here.

Christianwashing Atheism: Slavoj Zizek, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Richard Dawkins, Jordan Peterson, Ken Wilber.

The podcast dives into the concept of 'Christian-washing' of atheism, questioning the sincerity of figures like Zizek and Peterson. It connects Marx's philosophy to classical literature and debates biblical influences in modern thought. Post-9/11, it critiques Dawkins' and Harris' responses on morality, revealing gaps in advocacy for atheism. The discussion also reflects on the harms of childhood conditioning, and it emphasizes the need for a unified atheist movement that challenges traditional religious narratives.
