Genetically Modified Skeptic, Debating Ruined My Life
Over Zoom. After deconverting from being a fundamentalist Evangelical Christian to an agnostic/atheist, Drew McCoy has gained prominence as "Genetically Modified Skeptic", by providing well-documented but compassionate and secular counterpoint to religious and cultish proponents and perspectives, on national cable programs and his YouTube channel (with over 900K subscribers). In this program, we will show one of Drew's recent videos, showing his internal struggles over how to best divide his time between these high-visibility debates and his more direct involvement with his local secular group (Atheist Community of Austin). Afterwards, he will answer audience questions.

What is Humanism?
Humanism is a way of life that guides us to be well and to do good without relying on anything supernatural. It's a progressive philosophy that embraces reason, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge.
We welcome atheists, agnostics, truth-seekers, and anyone interested in exploring ethical living, critical thinking, and community building based on humanist principles.
Science & Reason
We value evidence-based thinking and scientific inquiry as paths to understanding our world.
Community
Building meaningful connections and supporting one another in our shared human experience.
Compassion
Promoting ethics, social justice, and care for all people through humanist values.
