What the left is doodling.

Reader essay.

Since we started running our reader-essay series, we’ve featured a lot of pieces from writers who are grappling with their religion. From a Gen Z former atheist who has found Buddhism, to a Jewish reflection on the destruction of the temple, to a Christian reflecting on Christian nationalism. However, we haven’t included any perspectives to date from a person detailing what led them to doubt the faith they were brought up in. That changes with today’s piece from Gordon Hafslund, who reflected on the arguments that turned him away from Christianity after overhearing a Christian evangelist pitch in a pizza shop. You can read the full piece here.
