The Unholy Roundtable: Group Conversations on Faith and Freedom
The Unholy Roundtable brings together a diverse panel of atheists to tackle big issues, from leaving religion and family fallout to the rise of Christian nationalism, LGBTQ+ rights, and rebuilding purpose after belief.
- Format: 4–6 voices offering different perspectives.
- Tone: Serious when it needs to be, always conversational and real.
- Why watch: It feels like being in the room with friends hashing out the hard questions religion avoids.
Ask an Atheist Interviews: Personal Journeys Out of Faith
One-on-one conversations with former believers from every background: ex-pastors, ex-Catholics, former evangelicals, Muslims, and more. We focus on the real, practical impacts of belief and the path to a secular life.
- Format: Deep, respectful interviews.
- Tone: Curious, personal, grounded.
- Why watch: Stories validate your experience and open new perspectives.
Mike Drop: Commentary Without Apologies
Solo commentary episodes, about 10 minutes each, where we examine religious claims, current events, and culture with a skeptical, reasoned lens. No fluff, just clear thinking.
- Format: Solo commentary.
- Tone: Direct, skeptical, approachable.

About the Host: Mike Smithgall
I launched Atheistville to give voice to people who question faith, explore doubt, and seek meaning beyond dogma. As host, I’m committed to honest dialogue, generous listening, and fostering a community of thinkers across the religious divide.
When I’m not working on Atheistville, I enjoy reading philosophy, conducting interviews, and exploring ideas that bridge secular and spiritual life.
