The Dismantling Doctrine Podcast

Surviving a Family Cult (with Vi La Bianca)


Listen Later

Vi La Bianca is the co-host of the ACA's "Secular Sexuality" and "Talk Heathen" shows. But she wasn't always an atheist...as it turns out, Vi grew up in a fundamentalist family cult.

In this episode, Vi and I make use of established models of cults by experts, and apply it to her life growing up. How can she describe her growing up experience as being part of a "family cult"? What is that, anyway, and how did it operate? And more importantly, how did she get out--and what does her life look like now, as an atheist, going forward?
