About Hemant Mehta
Who the hell are you?
I'm Hemant Mehta (pronounced HEH-mint MEH-tuh). I’ve been writing about atheism, religion, politics since around 2006. My work has been cited in books and media outlets, and it takes up 98% of my waking life.
I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with degrees in Mathematics and Biology and obtained my Masters in Math Education from DePaul University. I've worked with the Center For Inquiry and the Secular Coalition for America, and I’ve served as chair of the Secular Student Alliance and the Foundation Beyond Belief.
