"Tell me about the God you don’t believe in, and I probably don’t believe in that God, either."

REAL TALK. It’s time to stop pitting religion/spirituality against science/atheism. It’s a false dichotomy that implies there is no middle path, no rational, science-friendly form of religion, and no atheists/agnostics who have rejected their own traditions (or those of others) and make unfair generalizations based on their limited experience.
I am an intersectional feminist who rejects gender roles; believes in evolution, global climate change, women’s rights, and full LGBTQ equality and inclusion; my definition of God was developed by a mathematician/physicist/philosopher; and I am a churchgoing Christian. If you think these positions are at odds with each other, I invite you to consider your biases and preconceptions.
