Slavery, Scripture, and Skepticism: A Black Atheist Questions the Bible’s Morality

In this powerful conversation, we explore the deep contradictions between Christian scripture and the lived Black experience, especially when it comes to slavery. Our guest shares her personal journey from belief to atheism, shaped by critical questioning within the church and a confrontation with biblical passages that justified slavery. What happens when a faith tradition used to oppress is also the one embraced by the oppressed?

This isn’t about attacking individuals, it’s about examining dangerous ideas with honesty, curiosity, and humanity.
