(Listen to the full interview at SecularByNature.com) Darrel Ray is a respected author, activist, psychologist, and atheist personality who comes from a religious background. Although he left the church and his faith in the mid-'80s, he's the child of two missionaries, and his fundamentalist upbringing played a significant role in the work he does today. The author of several successful works on secularism and atheism, Ray is most widely known for The God Virus: How Religion Affects Our Lives and Culture and Sex and God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality, and his writing examines the adverse impact religion has on society. After having appeared frequently on his friend Matt Dillahunty's The Atheist Experience, Ray established his own Secular Sexuality podcast in 2014. He's also the founder of the non-profit organization Recovering from Religion, which works to assist people considering a break from religion, or are dealing with the aftermath of already having done so. Additionally, Ray is active with the Kansas City chapter of Oasis, a meeting place for the secular community to gather and discuss ideas, community involvement, and social issues. Andrew J.
