Seth Andrews spoke at the 2015 Oklahoma Freethought Convention on June 20, 2015 in Tulsa Oklahoma.
A former Christian broadcaster and the product of a fundamentalist home, Seth ultimately found better answers beyond faith, and to reinforce the focus on reason, he founded www.thethinkingatheist.com in 2009.
He currently hosts a top-rated podcast on BlogTalkRadio, with approximately 1.5 million monthly downloads, and he has authored two books: "Deconverted: a Journey from Religion to Reason" and "Sacred Cows: a Lighthearted Look at Belief and Tradition Around the World."
In his June 20, 2015 speech at the Oklahoma Freethought Convention, Seth Andrews explored how easily we, as human beings, become infatuated with ideas over facts, often leading to incorrect and even damaging assumptions that keep us in the dark. What happens when we'd rather believe than know? This presentation explores the question in a compelling and entertaining way. Mother Theresa is discussed at length, not in a very favorable light.
