“I was raised in a rural Virginia family that, despite what that might lead you to believe, was not particularly religious. My mom was nominally a Christian but church service was not a regular part of our life. My dad was an atheist influenced by Ayn Rand. The latter went on to influence me, and as a consequence, I spent roughly the first 30 years of my life as a very garden-variety atheist. … I left Ayn Rand behind at some point in my mid-20s and developed an interest in broader philosophy. … This exploration eventually led me into religion but outside of the typical Abrahamic context.” (05/27/26)
