JeffXL Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I found this at the NoGod blog: "This reporter has a good relationship with American Atheists. Hello, I'm a radio producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I'm presently researching a story on young adults (people from their late teens to early twenties) who were raised in Christian fundamentalist households but who have "left the fold." Any help in locating such a subject would be greatly appreciated. I can reached by e-mail at: frank_faulk@cbc.ca or by phone at: 416-205-6594 Thank you for your help, Frank Faulk" If'n you'd like to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll email him and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellincoffee Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've emailed him, since I qualify -- although I'm not "out". Does he want people who can be open about their nontheistic beliefs, or can they be like me, still in hiding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallenleaf Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm probably older than he's looking for but I sent an email. Besides, the show's site leads me to think he may be looking for Canadians. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPillAddict Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 not gonna email him till someone tells me what he wants the info for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenleaf Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 not gonna email him till someone tells me what he wants the info for. Google is your friend. Considering he's the senior editor of a radio show about morality... I would assume it was for future episodes of the show. Of course, that's assuming a lot but a simple checkout of the show and previous topics and guests didn't make me believe there was anything "off" about this. The worst I can see is that he doesn't actually want such contact and someone is trying to flood his inbox or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffXL Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm too old, and came out of what is considered "mainstream"-- even for a Missouri Synod church. I was also inaccurate: He's looking for people who have "left the fold," and not necessarily become atheists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queer Texan Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The byline on the thread topic caught my eye "He's looking for young people, though." I was thinking . . . why would he just want teens and twenties? Duh! Because in our mass-market consumerist society, no one over the age of twenty-five has credibility. I suppose the real purpose is to reach out to younger fence-sitters by showing them members of their peer group, but -- young people have left their faith since faith began, it's just that some of us have gotten older since then! LOL! Oh, well -- however he has to do it, it's a good thing . . . even if the means reek of agism. (And, this paranoia has nothing to do with the fact that I'm turning 36 on Saturday!)

LosingMyReligion Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm 24...does that count as early 20's? If so I'd love to be apart of the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It's probably a "story" about how Christians are oh-so-moral and everyone else is not. And how they're oh-so-depressed and having trouble keeping jobs and staying afloat financially and losing their health...etc. I'd be amazed if it was anything more than the normal stereotypical stuff.
