Sunday Revelations: A Church Service

If you have not seen Brother Sam
Singleton, Atheist Evangelist, you are
missing one of the great joys of life.

Hilarious and chilling, erudite and crass,
quoting Voltaire with a vivid Ozarks accent,
Brother Sam’s performance kidnaps the
style of a Pentecostal revival meeting and
uses it to deliver a sharp, compelling, take-
no- prisoners atheist rant that makes
Christopher Hitchens look like a vanilla
cupcake. Truly the best of both worlds: if
you think embracing atheism means losing
the wild, soaring, inspired artistry of
religion, his show is a must-see. I was
cranky and groggy about being up at 9am
on a Sunday with very little sleep (isn’t that
supposed to be one of the benefits of
atheism—that we get to sleep in on
Sundays?) … and Brother Sam woke me
the fuck up. See him if you possibly can.
Make it a priority.
