How to Survive in This World as a Young Atheist

The Friendly Atheist, Hemant Mehta, has penned a new tome to help those 30 percent of Americans under age 30 who admit to being without religious belief.

Mehta’s “The Young Atheist’s Survival Guide: Helping Secular Students Thrive” tells stories of young atheists who have stood up against prejudice they’ve suffered and who have stood up for their right to freedom from religion.

Host Jamila Bey spoke with Mehta to discuss how society and the freethinkers themselves can navigate the world which is finding more and more of them.
