--------------------------VIDEO NOTES--------------------------
Drew McCoy is the host of the Genetically Modified Skeptic YouTube channel, which is, with now over 500,000 subscribers, perhaps the largest atheist YouTube channel in the world right now.
We are often compared (and confused), and the last time we collaborated was in 2017, so we thought it would be a good idea to film a podcast together.
The video we made five years ago argued that, as well as being false, religion is also mostly harmful. In this podcast we discuss our current views on that subject, and examine how they have changed.
