Mediated Secular Activism
Exploring the topic of social interventions, religion and politics in digital spaces led me to an interview on February 10th with Atheist Activist, Hemant Mehta. You may know him as The Friendly Atheist from his Youtube channel or his Podcast. His publications include, I Sold My Soul on Ebay and The Young Atheist’s Survival Guide.
