Author, podcaster, and activist Ali A. Rizvi joins us to discuss his book "The Atheist Muslim, A Journey from Religion to Reason".
Ali A. Rizvi is a writer, activist, public speaker, and physician. Ali grew up in Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, as part of a progressive Muslim family, before he moved permanently to Canada in his twenties. As a physician, he trained in pathology (with fellowship in oncologic pathology) at SUNY Buffalo and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and also holds a master of science degree in biochemistry from McMaster University. Today, he works in medical communications.
Ali is an avid and vocal advocate for secularism, science, and reform, particularly in the Muslim community. He has been featured on CNN, in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Huffington Post, CBC, New York Post, and a range of other major media outlets.
