b'Maggie Rowe grew up as an evangelical Christian in the suburbs of Chicago. And for reasons we\'ll get into, when she was 19, she landed in a Christian mental health center where she spent three months. While parts of that experience were disturbing, some of it actually helped her eventually walk away from Christianity. She\'s now a comedy writer who has worked on the show Arrested Development and currently works on Netflix\'s Flaked.\\nHer book is called Sin Bravely: A Memoir of Spiritual Disobedience.\\nI spoke with her about the "spiritual terrorism" of teaching kids about Hell, what someone with a Christian upbringing notices in a comedy writers\' room, and how long it took to finally overcome her faith-based guilt.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
