Hitch has said that "you don't so much as become an atheist as find out that's what you are." Religion has never made sense to me. I didn't have the courage to call myself an atheist until I read the God Delusion during law school. The coincidence of my godless enlightenment and my legal education altered my career goals dramatically. Now my life's passion is fighting theocracy. I currently work as a Constitutional Consultant for the Freedom From Religion Foundation. My job is to educate the public about non-theism and to ensure that the Establishment Clause is being upheld. I love my job. Each day I work for a principle, the separation of state and church, that helps to ensure freedom for every American.
