RfRx - Mr. Deity Drops By with Brian Keith Dalton - Video

Brian Keith Dalton is a former Mormon – or a “Formon” – a term he coined. He also more recently coined the term excusigists (for apologists) which I think is so much more accurately descriptive!

He is a YouTube atheist pioneer with a background in music, video production and graphic design. Brian started his first web series, Mr. Deity, in 2006, less than two years after YouTube itself was created, and he has accumulated over 15 million views on his channel for that series, and for his many other video series exploring the problems with religion.

Mr. Deity who will appear later, of course needs no introduction.

Hosted by Kara Griffin, RfR Online Programming Director, and Rob Palmer, RfR Ambassador

Recorded on January 15, 2024

The primary focus of Recovering from Religion (RfR) is to offer hope, healing, and support to those struggling with issues of doubt and non-belief. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. We are here to help each other through this journey.
