On this episode, Jay chats with Dr. Michael Shermer, one of the world’s leading skeptic/atheist voices. He is the founding publisher of Skeptic magazine, a monthly columnist for Scientific American, and a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University. He is the best-selling author of books like Why People Believe Weird Things, The Believing Brain, and many others. On this episode we discuss Michael’s season of life as a passionate evangelical Christian, what led him out of that season and into atheism, as well as some challenges he has for Christians to engage their faith thoughtfully and critically.
