The question isn't whether or not there ought to be religious believers, rather the fact is that there are. The atheist lives in a religious world. However, the proper orientation toward our fellow travelers is not one of animosity or rejection or pity, but rather one of earnest compassion and unbounded curiosity.
The author, who is an atheist, takes religious conviction, faith, and spiritual yearning seriously. In fact, he sees them as having radical—perhaps unparalleled—significance to the human condition. Accordingly, this project endeavors to engage a variety of religious traditions on their own turf and from the perspective of an atheist.

At the very minimum, the author will attend a church service each Sunday. This service will then be examined using a set of ten criteria that have been developed in line with the author's guiding principles of earnestness and unbounded curiosity.
An outline for how posts will be structured will be posted shortly.
