LISTEN: Why atheism on a faith and values site? An interview with Greg Lammers

Listen to the story as it aired on KBIA 91.3 FM.

Atheism is not usually considered a faith – so why cover it on a faith and values site? This week's audio update takes a look at just that.

Greg Lammers, our atheist writer, sat down with editor Kellie Kotraba to talk about atheism, values and the relationship between the two.

You can also read Lammers' writing, or listen to the full 10-minute interview here.

This is the second in our series of interviews with Columbia Faith and Values' writers from around the community – stay tuned for more writer interviews in the weeks to come. You can also listen to the first interview, which was with our Catholic writer Kelsey Gillespy.

This story was produced in partnership with KBIA 91.3 FM. Tune in to KBIA around 8:30 on Saturday mornings for our weekly updates.
