Everyone's Agnostic Podcast


Cass & Marie interview people you don’t know, about a subject no one wants to talk about. We hope to encourage people in the process of deconstructing their faith and help curb the loneliness that accompanies it. We think the world is a better place when more people live by sight, not by faith.

Feb 20, 2016

Cass and Bob interview Dr. John Winsor, a classical music composer, computer programmer, and author of “What Your Preacher Didn’t Tell You.” He’s also one of 6 atheists featured, alongside Lawrence Kraus and Richard Carrier, in a book due out soon entitled “666: 6 atheists 6 theists 6 Topics” But he is not one with a painful journey out of religion. He was raised Lutheran, but by his early teens he’d already decided it wasn’t for him. John’s passion is music. He earned a PhD in music and has won over 30 awards as a modern "classical" composer. He joins us from Virginia Beach, VA where he has seen Pat Robertson’s limo in traffic.
