About What The Faith:
What The Faith is a space to embrace the spiritual misfits. In the time of organized religion's mass exodus and the ever-growing post-religion/deconstruction movement, many are finding themselves somewhere in the middle of all the noise. The misfit might be skeptical of religion but they aren’t anti-spirituality. They’re looking for more and most importantly, they’re yearning for dialogue that will help them enter into that reconstruction process, wherever it may lead them.
