Jerry DeWitt— "From Pentecostal to Atheist"- Part One
Dec. 12, 2025, 5:14 a.m.
The freedom to think and the freedom of religion are constitutional keystones and givens in the United States. However, when those freedoms lead a Pentecostal pastor to come out as an atheist, he is shunned by some and praised by others.
Jerry DeWitt, whose ministry began when he was seventeen, is the author of “Hope After Faith: An Ex-Pastor’s Journey From Belief to Atheism.” He’s our guest in this two part conversation about his 25 year dialogue with faith, his early beliefs, his evolving skepticism and his embrace of free-thinking humanism.
As it is for all of us, early life experiences are most often taken for granted and form the basis by which we compare subsequent experiences and develop new understandings.
So when Jerry DeWitt and I visited by phone from western Florida on December 13, 2013, we began the first part of our conversation with a description of his early childhood.
Jerry DeWitt’s website provides information about his book and links to the resources and topics discussed in our program.
The books Jerry DeWitt recommends are those written by Joseph Campbell.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN INDIAN HALL OF FAME
“For many years, I felt there were various resources and facilities for learning about Native Americans from the “old times,” it is difficult to find an accurate and comprehensive source to learn about more contemporary Native Americans. America and its Native American people need a place to honor and commemorate the significant contributions and achievements of more recent historical and contemporary Native Americans. The major focus of the Hall of Fame will be from the Civil War period up until the present day. This time frame was chosen because the Civil War was a milestone event in Native American history in a unique and “modern” sense because Natives fought on both sides of that national conflict. The National Native American Hall of Fame will help people understand how Native Americans overcame the hopelessness of early reservations, and the trauma of Indian boarding schools, poverty, discrimination, racism, and the cultural divide to not only adapt but, in many instances, achieve greatness,” states Shield.

As always, we turn our gaze to Gaza.
not only to the bombs that fell,
not only to the ceasefire that never came,
but to the plans whispered in Washington and echoed by Donald Trump.
Trump’s vision for Gaza is not peace.
It is profit.
It is reconstruction for investors,
skyscrapers rising over rubble,
contracts signed over graves.
And he is not alone.
He is supported by guarantor states that remained silent,
by senators like Ted Cruz who cloak Zionism in scripture,
by leaders who normalize relations while hospitals burn.
They stand with him—
not with the people.
But against this agenda, we honor the voices who refused silence.
We honor Rachel Corrie, Shireen Abu Akleh, Issam Abdallah.
We honor doctors like Ghassan Abu Sitta and Mona El Farra,
who healed under fire.
We honor students from Columbia, Harvard, Berkeley, and Boston College,
who marched, who occupied, who spoke.
We honor Americans like Angela Davis, Cornel West, Chris Hedges,
and Jewish voices of conscience—Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Ilan Pappé—
who exposed the myths and defended the dignity of Palestinians.
These are the names, the lives, the legacies that stand against Trump’s Gaza vision.
They remind us that Gaza is not a blank canvas for empire.
It is a home.
It is a people.
It is a struggle for truth.
So tonight, as Trump and his allies dream of skyscrapers over rubble,
we remember the fallen,
we honor the resistors,
and we declare:
Palestine is not for sale.
Palestine is not for profit.
Palestine is for its people.
Stay with us.
This is This Week in Palestine.
And this is where the silence ends.
