Losing My Nonreligion
As an evolutionary biologist, I joined the Freedom From Religion Foundation because I supported its work guarding the wall of separation between religion and government, educating the public about how to be moral without faith, and, most important, upholding science and rationality over dogma and superstition. I served on an FFRF advisory board, and the foundation gave me its annual 'The Emperor Has No Clothes' award in 2011.
I resigned because the foundation has abandoned science. Two other board members, Steven Pinker and Richard Dawkins, joined me.
