On an Atheist’s Conversion

“Leah Libresco was raised in an atheist household on Long Island. She gained notoriety as an atheist blogger who focused on such diverse topics as math and morality. She often wrestled with Catholic ideas: the blog, mischievously titled ‘Unequally Yoked,’ initially started as a place where she could interrogate and consider arguments raised by her then boyfriend, a practicing Catholic. Needless to say, readers were startled when, on June 18, she announced her conversion to Roman Catholicism. ‘This is my last post for the Patheos Atheist portal,’ she wrote. The comboxes exploded.”

In a recent post, writer Eve Tushnet offered her recent interview with Leah Libresco. This report includes Ms. Libresco’s reflection on her conversion to Catholicism and on a number of other items.
