Losing my religion! Letting Go of Religious Fundamentalism

For some, religion is an occasional duty; for others, it is an everyday quest. But what if the ones you love most disagree with your way of life? This lecture discusses the journey from religious fundamentalism to moderation, exploring what it means to be born in a fundamentalist community and to lose one’s faith. It combines philosophical and personal reflections on faith, doubt, and compromise. It is meant to inspire all of us wrestling with everyday differences and disagreements.
