My name is David and I am trying to be the Graceful Atheist.

After twenty some odd years of being a Christian my faith broke down in 2015. I could no longer sustain belief. It seemed to me the deeper I dug for truth in my beliefs the shakier they became. In contrast, the deeper I dug for truth in science the more profound it became.

Having had faith I still respect and care for those who remain in their faith. Having lost it I am interested in finding evidence based truth. I want to discover and communicate the subtleties of why some believe, some do not and some change their minds.

Liam: A friend and a Friend – Graceful Atheist Podcast

Liam is a friend and a colleague of many years. He is a member of the Religious Society of Friends often called Quakers. Liam and I have shared deep conversations before and after my deconversion. I respect the way Liam holds and lives out his beliefs.You might be surprised. The British Liberal Quakerism Liam lives out on a daily basis is very close to my version of Humanism, Secular Grace. He is a great example of a religious humanist who cares about people over dogma.LinksQuakers in Britain: https://www.quaker.org.uk/Quaker Faith: https://www.quaker.org.uk/faith/read-about-quaker-faithQuakers in USA: https://www.fgcquaker.org/American Friends Service Committee (Charity): https://afsc.org/InteractShow Noteshttps://gracefulatheist.com/2026/05/24/liam-a-friend-and-a-friend/Join the Deconversion Anonymous Facebook group!Deconversionhttps://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/Secular Gracehttps://gracefulatheist.com/2016/10/21/secular-grace/Support the podcastPatreon https://www.patreon.com/gracefulatheistPaypal: paypal.me/gracefulatheistSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/graceful-atheist-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
