How Atheists Find Community- #207: Evan Clark | Atheists United
Manage episode 411947710 series 3162129
The realization that religion could prevent its followers from getting life saving medical attention, was something that shocked Evan. And this was yet another reason that he felt drawn to “atheism,” a word that he first discovered in a dictionary years before. Later, Evan would attend California Lutheran College which inspired him to create a Secular Student Alliance. Through this, he was able to create a community for students like himself who did not feel connected to religion. Springboarding out of college, he eventually settled in Los Angeles where he continued creating community for Atheists through his role as the executive director of Atheists United. But let’s go way back to life before all of this. A life that started in a conservative catholic school.
