Welcome. My name is Dan Huger,

librarian and research associate of the Action Institute.

And today I am joined by Noah Gould.

Noah Gould is a colleague,

alumni, and student programs manager at Acton.

You know, is also a contributing writer for young voices. And today we'll

be talking about sort of the contours of religion and faith in God, particularly the shape that

religion and faith in God takes for those who are kind of on a journey from atheism and skepticism

to Christian faith. There have been a couple of high-profile cases. Late last year, Noah reviewed

the political scientist Charles Murray's book, latest book, Taking Religion Seriously for Christianity Today.

And it recounts that sort of journey. It's a great, for instance, of this. But Charles Murray is not alone.
