Expert Profile: Jean P.

Expertise: Ask me about atheism: the whys, the hows, the what-should-I-dos if you're undergoing a crisis of faith. Ask me about philosophies related to atheism: materialism, Objectivism, naturalism, communism. Give voice to your secret, politically incorrect questions about atheism and its related philosophies - and we both might learn something new today!

Experience in the area
Schooled by devout Catholics, brought up by devout Hindus and friends with Muslims throughout my teens. I spent a couple of years being rabidly Objectivist, but that wore off, and I've been an atheist ever since. I am active in the varsity international debating community, where talk often turns to religion. I have had to defend all sides of the matter, and I came away open-minded, though grounded in facts and valid arguments.

Publications
College newspapers, short story collections (Atriad press), online magazines, commercial blogs, personal blog.

Awards and Honors
6th Best Speaker in Austral-Asian Debates '04; ISC Award for an essay ("Religion in Europe");
