Aspiring apologist Rebekah Valerius suggests that the rise of the "Nones" and the increasing influence of the New Atheists may be a good thing for the Church, prompting a move in the direction of a more traditional, "Nicene Creed" type of Christianity. Her assessment of the state of the Christian religion in America now is one that is driven by fear, manifesting in many negative ways, including the entanglement of religion with politics. As America prepares to move culturally into a post-Christian era, Rebekah wants to see more women involved in the shepherding of the faithful, especially in the realm of apologetics.
