In this special bonus episode, I finally was able to get together with Hemant Mehta, “The Friendly Atheist,” for a fascinating discussion about his journey.  

Hemant became an atheist out of the religion of Jainism, which is fascinating in and of itself–his story is quite different than the sort of “typical” atheist one might encounter who rejects the Christian version of God.  

As a result of that journey of exploration, Hemant went on to develop the “Friendly Atheist” platform–blogging and podcasting–in an attempt to engage people from all walks of faith, belief systems and life in a respectful and mutually expanding dialogue: common ground, despite massive differences.
