Kate Cohen is a former Washington Post contributing columnist
and the author of
We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe
(And Maybe You Should Too)
.
The book chronicles her journey to outspoken atheism and argues that
nonbelievers should be more vocal for the good of the country.
In 2023, Cohen received the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s
“Freethought Heroine” award. She was also selected to deliver the
keynote address at the inaugural Congressional Reason Reception in
Washington, D.C.
She now writes a column called Scratch, which celebrates the
stubborn human desire to make—rather than buy or simply accept—the
stuff, purpose, and meaning of our lives.
Cohen lives with her husband on a hay farm in Albany, New York.
