Maverick and secular humanist Logospilgrim, author of There's a Hula Girl on my Dashboard: How I Left Faith Behind and Embraced Life (http://www.amazon.com/Theres-Hula-Girl-On-Dashboard-ebook/dp/B00ZPTIJTK/), discusses the process that freed her from religious subordination and enabled her to acknowledge her own strength, celebrate her genderqueerness, and reclaim her human dignity. After years spent searching for the "god of love" she'd been taught was the source of everything, after enduring the agony of rejection, exploring a wide variety of spiritual paths, sinking into nihilism, then being a devoted Eastern Orthodox Christian for nearly a decade, she at last realized that supernatural love, far from being "true" love, is nothing more than a crippling illusion. She now writes about the joy of being human in a material world, which is all that's real and necessary.
