Minister-turned-author and atheist Dan Barker will give a talk titled "Losing Faith in Faith" Monday evening at the University of Arizona.
The talk is free and open to the public. It is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the North Ballroom of the University of Arizona's Student Union Memorial Center, 1303 E. University Blvd.
Barker is expected to tell the story of how he went from a teenage evangelist to an ordained minister and then to a painful and difficult conversion from Christianity to atheism. He will explain why he left the ministry and also why he rejects a belief in God.
Barker, of Madison, Wis., is co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, along with his wife, Annie Laurie Gaylor. The foundation is an educational group working for the separation of church and state. Barker also is a contributing editor to Freethought Today.
The talk is sponsored by the UA's Geniuses of Diversity group and the Center for Inquiry Community of Southern Arizona.
