Sam Singleton, Atheist Evangelist

• Located in Montana
• Sam Singleton is the world's first and only full-time Atheist Evangelist, so far as we know.

• He has performed his comedic works in more than a hundred venues and towns in the US and Canada, in saloons, theaters, universities and at conferences.
• Brother Sam has frequently and favorably been compared to Mark Twain, Clarence Darrow, George Carlin, and Foghorn Leghorn.
• Brother Sam, or his creator, Roger Scott Jackson, is also available for extemporaneous discussions, question and answer sessions, interviews and debates on many subjects, but neither one will debate the existence of god.

Sam Singleton Atheist Evangelist likes to point out that "unlike you" he has a creator. That's why he claims to identify with God. "We're both totally made up," he explains. Brother Sam, as his friends refer to him, considers himself inevitable. "Sooner or later somebody like me was bound to happen if families kept (messing) with their children's heads. I'm surprised it took this long. You know what Hosea 8:7 says about reaping the whirlwind. Well, here we are.

The man who wrote and performs Sam Singleton Atheist Evangelist prefers to maintain a certain literary distance from his creation. "Brother Sam is not my alter-ego," Roger Scott Jackson insists, although the parallels between the two are obvious: childhood terrors involving bizarre religious practices, the expectation to follow previous generations into the ministry, a lot of intense spiritual seeking, recognition that God is fictional, estrangement from family, and finally a rich full life free from fear of the supernatural. From a Pentecostal upbringing in a family ruled by a preacher father who couldn't stay put, to working as a fish gutter, shoeshine boy, reporter, English teacher, and many more occupations, Jackson says, "It all goes into Brother Sam."
