b'This week\\u2019s guest is Megan. Megan grew up in a fundamentalist Catholic home with an irrationally religious mother and an absent father. As a teen, she was invited to an evangelical bible study after school and after some serious \\u201clove bombing\\u201d by the youth group, she was a part of a community.

\\u201cYou get \\u2018loved bombed\\u2019 when you walk into a new church or into a new youth group, and they make you feel like you are the most welcome you will ever be and that your community is so indeed of you and your specific experience\\u2026\\u201d

Evangelical Christianity worked well for Megan for years. She had questions and concerns but nothing that made her leave for good until she knew one of her kids was possibly LGBTQ. That was when she knew she\\u2019d have to figure out the religious future of her family.

Now, she is an atheist and has never been more free. She\\u2019s living out secular grace, sealing up her boundaries, and being the whole person she \\u2019s always needed to be.
