Biography [edit]
Matt was raised as a Baptist Christian and sought to become a Baptist minister.[1] His religious studies, instead of bolstering his faith as he intended, led to a rejection of Christianity and, eventually, all religions.[6] In 2011, Matt married The Atheist Experience colleague Beth Presswood.
