Bryce Harrington interviews the Graceful Atheist

My guest this week is Bryce Harrington. Bryce and I have been colleagues off and on at a couple of different companies over the years. But most importantly he and I had a seminal discussion back in 2012 while killing time in an airport. At the time I was a dedicated Evangelical Christian and Bryce has been a life long atheist. Even though I had an ulterior motive at the time Bryce was kind, gracious and genuinely curious as he wanted to understand how and why I believed. As you will hear, ironically, my former believing self changed Bryce's view of religious people. Fast forward to today, I told Bryce I had deconverted last year. He was shocked and amazed and wanted to understand how I had changed my mind and why I was doing the podcast. This turned out to be a really fun and interesting conversation that I am glad to be able to share with you. We did not pre-plan the questions. What you hear is Bryce's genuine curiosity. He may have a career in podcast interviews. We also get to hear Bryce's story. The isolation and loneliness he felt growing up the only non-believer in his community. That sense of isolation lasted for much of Bryce's life. I think many of you who are life long atheists or who have just recently deconverted will be able to relate.
