Chris Johnson - The Atheist Book

My guest today is New York-based photographer and filmmaker, Chris Johnson. I first heard of Chris through my friend and mentor, Dr. Marlene Winell, who was featured in his beautiful coffee table book A BETTER LIFE: 100 ATHEISTS SPEAK OUT ON JOY AND MEANING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOD.

In this episode, Chris shares what it was like to interview prominent atheists from around the world, including James Randi, Julia Sweeney, Penn & Teller, and Steven Pinker, for his book and his documentary film called “A Better Life: An Exploration of Joy & Meaning in a World Without God.”

Lindsey Doolittle - Recovering from Religion & Suicide Loss

TW: Today we will be discussing issues related to suicide

Lindsey Doolittle was introduced to me as a documentary film maker who recently focussed her lens on Dr. Darrel Ray’s work at Recovering from Religion (see below for more information on this documentary).

In speaking with Lindsey, I learned that she has a powerful story of her own to share. The following excerpt is from her website www.AboveTheRug.com :  Lindsey Doolittle is an art educator, children’s author, artist to the Faces After Suicide exhibition, and an Award-Winning independent filmmaker. Her advocacy began shortly after her late husband, Sgt. Brett Doolittle of the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department, died by suicide in 2015.

Nikole Mitchell - From Pastor to Only Fans Model
Divorced: Evangelical Christianity

CW: Frank discussions about sexuality

Today’s guest has previously appeared on the Dr. Phil Show, Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, CBS – and today she is a guest on the Divorcing Religion Podcast! I’m talking about Pleasure Coach NIKOLE MITCHELL.

Raised in the Evangelical Christian tradition, Nikole understood the role assigned to her within that tradition: A homemaker who was subservient to her husband – and all men - in a monogamous, heterosexual marriage. 

Eventually, Nikole embraced a more liberal form of Christianity and even became a pastor. She began letting go of religion while attending seminary, and left her church in 2019, after graduating with her Master's degree.

Today, Nikole Mitchell is a divorced mother of 3, living as a queer woman. Not only does she have a thriving career as an Only Fans creator, but she also empowers other women through her coaching practice.

Linda Martin -  Religious Exemptions are Killing Kids
Divorced: Followers of Christ Cult CW: Child abuse and death due to faith-based exemptions Linda Martin was born into the Idaho Followers of Christ sect, leaving the church at age 16. It is estimated that the child mortality rate for the Followers of Christ between 2002 and 2011 was 10 times that of Idaho as a whole. In 2013, Linda went public about the many religious medical neglect deaths of children in Idaho, and she continues to bring awareness to the religious medical neglect of children.  With the late Rita Swan, Linda helped set up the website idahochildren.org which has links to important articles and information about laws in the United States that allow religious exemptions to medical care for sick children.  RESOURCES MENTIONED: ·         www.idahochildren.org ·         https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN4i_tHNkNDBvgHKi_OZyfEL48ZUoEsdl Support this podcast by becoming a Member of the CORT YouTube channel  When you Support this podcast by joining our YouTube membership (starting as low as $3/month) you'll get early access to all of our new content, access to badges and special chat emojis, and more.
