Why we share their work
Promise names the fear that keeps people in — and what it looks like to walk out.
A pastor’s kid and former worship leader, she knows the language from the inside — the apologetics, the afterlife fear, the family scripts. Her videos and her book answer them plainly, for people who are still in and for people who just left.
You’re allowed to stop being afraid.
02
In their words
Promise Backlund, author of Gospel of Lies, is a former Evangelical Christian who now identifies as agnostic atheist after leaving her faith in 2017.
She has developed a large, devoted following since separating from her evangelical Christian family and the Christian Charismatic Church. She is now a major ex-evangelical influencer, with a vibrant social media following. She is also a featured host for The Line, a popular skeptic-based YouTube network and podcast.
“A line in Promise’s own words goes here — pending her approval.”
