Liberty and Reason: Thomas Sheedy's Vision for Atheists for Liberty

We're trying to get people to understand that atheism and libertarianism go hand-in-hand because they're both based on reason. We're not trying to change the libertarian movement into an atheist movement or the atheist movement into a libertarian movement. We're trying to create something new that's based on reason and evidence.
Imagine a world where individual liberty and secular governance are championed through the lens of reason and evidence. In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula sits down with Thomas Sheedy, the President and Founder of Atheists for Liberty. Thomas shares his journey and the mission behind his non-profit organization, which uniquely blends atheism and libertarianism to advocate for personal freedom and a secular state.
Unlike many other atheist groups, Atheists for Liberty welcomes a diverse range of political views, including libertarians, conservatives, and centrists, often marginalized by mainstream atheist movements. Thomas discusses the importance of fostering an environment where free exchange of ideas is not only encouraged but celebrated. He also highlights the organization's stance against social justice and wokeness, which they believe detracts from their core mission.
Throughout the conversation, Justin and Thomas explore how Atheists for Liberty stands apart from other groups by focusing on evidence-based ideologies and rational discourse. They delve into the challenges faced by the atheist movement today and how Atheists for Liberty aims to bridge these divides. If you're curious about how reason and liberty can coexist in a secular framework, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective.
