Every day I see a message, a meme, or a comment relating some cultural disturbance or unfortunate contemporary dynamic to the rise of atheism. Wrong Speak Publishing is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
This is one of the most poetically articulate pieces I've ever read on the subject. A companion piece I'd like to share with you (it was a bit too long for Wrong Speak) -
I'm not surprised - many people are turned off at the notion of atheism and would prefer to close themselves off to open conversation about the questions it presents. Hence the "low traction" - we live in a world where most folks only listen to what they want to hear, to try to confirm their pre-existing views. The article I shared with you was written about a year ago (different perspective, similar concept), but at 1400 words I chose not to whittle it down for publication. Love to hear what you think. Regards, ZL

Fantastic article, Judson. ZL
Thanks for that very handsome compliment. The article did not seem to gain much traction by comments- but I will take yours, ha.
I felt I was going a bit against the grain. Necessary, though.
Thanks for reading Zephareth,
