I love your writing and your podcasts. Your sensitivity and your reasoning really comes through. When Ayaan called herself an atheist, nobody seemed to question it. As soon as it left her feeling hollow and searching for more, she decided to become a Christian. Now everyone is being so critical of her choice! It's the beginning of her own personal journey and though it comes from a more political stance, it's likely to become more profound with time. Though she made it public, it's still rather a private thing. I see no need to criticize her religious path. Christianity can be an extremely difficult devotion to be part of, but it really makes sense because within the religion you can find humility and try to be in a forgiving place. Next step is possibly being devoted to helping others. I think she is a very courageous woman.
