Ex-Pastor Turned Humanist Director Wins 'Atheist of the Year' Award
The ex-pastor, who served in ministry for 20 years before revealing last March that she lost her faith, received the award at last month’s American Atheists Convention in Bethesda, which celebrated the secular group’s 50 year anniversary.
In an email to The Christian Post, MacBain revealed that during last year’s convention, she only knew a few people but this year, after forming many new relationships, it felt more like a “big family reunion.”
“Most every relationship in my life vanished after I came out in March,” MacBain told CP on Wednesday. “But I also found so many new friends within the freethought community.”
The former Methodist pastor, who resides in Florida, said that it was a huge honor and a big surprise to receive the award, which was presented to her on stage by Dave Silverman, the AA president.
