Meet the team: Owen

What part of the world are you from and where do you currently live?

I am from and live in Ontario Canada.

Do you have children? If so how many and what ages?

No children yet ;)

What do you do at Atheist Republic?

I am a designer, blogger, page admin, consulate, counselor and the video/podcast manager.

You are a dictator. Are you benevolent or malevolent, and what is your first edict?

I would be benevolent. I'm not so sure what my first edict would be, though.

Were you ever religious? If so, share a little bit of that experience. Were you completely all-in and sincere or were you half-hearted? Did you always have serious doubts?

I used to be a Christian, it was basically the same as being an atheist for me but on the other side of the spectrum.

What event or series of events brought you to become an atheist? If you were always an atheist, did you ever have doubts?

I had a ridiculous religion teacher in my Catholic school, who was preaching anti-gay BS, I decided I wouldn't worship a homophobic god after that.

What is your favorite holiday? How do you celebrate/observe it?

My favorite holiday would have to be Christmas. I celebrate it normally, but not so religiously.

In a horrifying turn of events, you can only choose to have one of the following, forsaking all others. Would you choose:

a) a TV with all the channels
b) a huge library full of all kinds of books and periodicals that update regularly
c) a computer and printer but no internet
d) a video game console with all of the games you want

Video games with console.
