Author and freethought advocate Kate Cohen
Kate Cohen

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.
