What is it about?

It's a tour through Catholic prayer, relying on the metaphors and frameworks I was most fluent in as an atheist (Shakespeare, topology, etc). I have a placeholder website up here http://arrivingatamen.com/, but I'll have a proper one up by the end of the month.

Could you briefly explain the reasoning leading up to becoming a "former atheist"?

The briefest version: I was more confident that morality was objective and independent of humans than I was that God didn't exist. And I was swayed by people like Aquinas and Feser. Longer whatnot at my site.
