Matt Dillahunty is the president of the Atheist Community of Austin and host of their live, call-in, television program, “The Atheist Experience.” A fundamentalist Christian for more than 25 years, his best efforts to become a minister backfired and gave birth to one of the most prolific voices on atheism of the past decade. In addition to hundreds of live television shows and thousands of informal debates on the show, he’s also engaged in formal debates and traveled the United States speaking to local secular organizations and university groups. He’s also the producer of both the “Godless Bitches” and “The Non-Prophets” podcasts.
