"We Of Little Faith" with Kate Cohen and Guest Host Olivia Goudeau
In this special edition of Unreasonable, guest host Olivia Goudeau, national organizing manager of the Secular Student Alliance (SSA), talks to Washington Post columnist and author Kate Cohen about her new book, “We Of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (and Maybe You Should Too)."
Neither fit the conservative invention of “angry atheist.” They are both kind and thoughtful women who come from different backgrounds and different generations, yet arrived at a place of peace, able to live happily without the encumbrances of a god or the trappings of Religion.
They talk about their own upbringings, their own belief systems and how they arrived at them. They talk about parenting, having been parented, and the role religion played, or didn’t, in all of it.
In her book, Cohen writes:
If “atheist” is ever going to stop being a scary word — and if “religious” is ever going to stop being a sacred word, a word that short-circuits moral and scientific progress — athesists have to be willing to say in casual conversation that we are atheists.
This is that conversation.
