Joe Armstrong presents the Losing My Religion – Trust Your Doubt podcast. It’s the audio diary of a Humanist celebrant, a Humanist celebrant who used to be a student for the Roman Catholic priesthood. I’ve come a long way!
It encourages people born into a religion to think for themselves. It is a companion to Joe Armstrong’s acclaimed memoir In My Gut, I Don’t Believe. Using the diary format, it explores becoming free from religious thinking. It encourages people to live their one and only life. It suggests that religious people consider that they are atheist about the Greek and the Roman gods. And the Norse and the Celtic gods and hundreds of other gods that people have believed in.
As a former believer, I know how hard it is to break through the confinement of religion. It is difficult to break out from the prison of the mind. The podcast urges god believers not to waste their one and only life, placing their hopes in an afterlife that will never come. It supports people striving to think for themselves and break free from their mental cages.
It is a shameful thing is people need to believe in an deity in order to be good. Would religious people rape, murder and pillage if their god did not exist? And why do religious people so often impose their views on non-god-believers?
