Black Culture and Atheism: Interview with host of Infidelguy.com

I was thinking of writing an article on African-Americans and atheism. I did a paper on the subject in college, and I was amazed at how little information their was on the subject. While doing research on the internet, in what was suppose to be the article on 'Black Culture and Atheism,' I came across the website infidelguy.com.That was when I decided to turn my article into an interview. Subsequently, I contacted the host of infidelguy.com, Reginald V. Finley, Sr. for an interview and he said, "Yes." Here is the interview.

1. Could you talk a little about your website(blog) infidelguy.com? When did you start your website and why?

Well, this site design is probably the 8th version of infidelguy.com. I began late in 1998. It was a geo-cities hosted site with the intent of sharing my ideas about religious beliefs to the public and also to reach out to other minorities letting them know that "It's Okay to Not believe" and that it's okay to doubt.

About a year later in early 1999, I started my first internet show. Jake, who is now my partner with AtheistNetwork.com, showed me how to broadcast, as he was doing it prior and conducting the Atheism Freedom Liberation show. My show grew faster than I ever considered and soon I was earning a living doing an internet talk show. I'm considered the first ever non-corporate entity to earn a full-time income doing talk internet radio.

2. I wrote a paper on Black Atheism in college for an African-American religious course.What struck me while researching the paper was that there was very little information I could find concerning the issue. It was like a well kept secret. Do you have any thoughts on this?
