Seth Andrews Biography
An Oklahoma news website asked Andrews about his opinion on Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the founder of American Atheists, who sued to end compulsory Bible reading in public schools in the 1960s. He replied, “I personally don’t relate to her tactics, but while I myself may have a different style, I must give her credit. Madalyn was a such a champion for non-belief that she paid for it with her life. I have a tremendous amount of admiration (for her). She did a lot of good work.”
Seth Andrews (born April 12, 1968) is an American activist, author, and speaker on the subject of atheism. He is the creator and host of The Thinking Atheist online community, podcast, and YouTube channel, and the author of the self-published books Deconverted and Sacred Cows. Prior to his atheist activism, he was a fundamentalist Christian and had a ten-year career as a Christian radio host.
Andrews was a fan of contemporary Christian music. He hosted the Morning Show on Christian radio station KXOJ-FM from 1990 to 2000.
The 1997 death of Rich Mullins planted the first seed of doubt in his mind. The death of the Christian songwriter in a traffic accident was hard to reconcile with Andrews’ understanding of the principles of Christianity. He later commented, “As I spoke words of comfort to our listeners and callers, I struggled to reconcile the notion that the God of Matthew 10, the one who considered us worth ‘more than many sparrows,’ would design or abide the taking of Mullins’ earthly life in such a pointless, gruesome manner.” This event was a turning point for him, and he began the long, slow journey to apostasy. The events of September 11, 2001 also played a crucial role in strengthening his doubts about religion.
In 2004 Andrews saw the video of atheist Christopher Hitchens debating Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, which made him decide to leave his faith. In 2008, he finally told his family and friends he was an atheist. Finding no community of other atheists in his area, he decided to build an atheist community online.
In December 2012 he self-published his autobiographical book Deconverted: A Journey From Religion To Reason, detailing his journey out of religion and how he became an atheist activist. In addition to discussing his apostasy, he recounts his life growing up in the Bible Belt and his past as a DJ for a Christian radio station, and discusses how and why he created the Thinking Atheist community.
Andrews has written two self-published books, Deconverted (2012) and Sacred Cows (2015).
In 2014, Andrews told the Arizona Daily Sun, “I was a true believer, and when I hit the age of 37, my doubts about my faith came to critical mass and for the first time in my life, I began to examine what I had held as true.” About his recent activism he declared: “I’m not an enemy of religious people, but I’ll be honest and say I am an enemy of religion.”
In June 2015 he self-published his second book, Sacred Cows: A Lighthearted Look at Belief and Tradition Around the World. In it he identifies ideas, beliefs and traditions that various cultures regard as holy, stressing that ideas should be examined critically rather than being followed with blind faith.
