Wil Jeudy strives to make this world a better place. Steeped in math and science since childhood, he began a career in healthcare in the late 1990s. His interests in history and psychology and his observations of society gradually led him away from belief and led him inexorably toward reason, atheism, secular humanism, and activism. He began attending Houston Oasis (freethought group) in 2016 and eventually joined their board in late 2018 which is the same time that he became an assistant state director for the American Atheists. Since then he has joined the leadership of Houston Atheists and has also started a group called Secular Houston which aims to (unofficially) bind local secular groups together, as well as give secularism a voice in local politics. Now, as State Director, he will use that experience to increase the health of Texas secular groups, to encourage communication between the groups, to vitalize our interfaith coalitions, and to give a political voice to secularism at both the state and local levels.
For more than 55 years, American Atheists has fought to protect the absolute separation of religion from government and to elevate atheists and atheism in our nation’s public and political discourse.
