Drew McCoy

 

After deconverting from being a fundamentalist Evangelical Christian to an agnostic/atheist, Drew McCoy has gained prominence as "Genetically Modified Skeptic", by providing well-documented but compassionate and secular counterpoint to religious and cultish proponents and perspectives, on national cable programs and his YouTube channel (with over 900K subscribers). In this program, we view one of Drew's recent videos, showing his internal struggles over how to best divide his time between these high-visibility debates and his more direct involvement with his local secular group (Atheist Community of Austin). Afterwards, he answers audience questions.
