The following is an interview with an Atheist couple who are a strong, positive example of a religion-free marriage. Both hold key roles in the Atheist community and demonstrate a true love for life. For privacy purposes, only their first names are mentioned.
1) Can you both please briefly describe how you were raised; were your parents religious?
Scott: I was raised Southern Baptist. Everyone in my family is either Southern Baptist or General Baptist although I don’t remember the difference. As a child, my mother would always take my sister and I to church every Sunday while my father slept in most Sundays. After my parents divorced, when I was 12, my father took me to church on the weekends that he had me and my mother took me to her new church when I was with her. I decided to be baptized when I was 16. I don’t remember what I expected to happen after the experience, but I do recall feeling absolutely no change in myself at all.
