For me, bringing atheism and humanism more into the mainstream marketplace of ideas has been one of the most important aspects of atheist activism. This is why I love being a freelance writer for Publishers Weekly. This gives me the opportunity in interview atheist and humanist authors and help them put atheist books and humanist books into that marketplace of ideas.
In addition, I have also had the opportunity to interview religious authors as they struggle to address the rise of secularism and atheism in our culture.
