Biography[edit | edit source]
Matt was raised as a Baptist Christian and sought to become a Baptist minister.[1] His religious studies, instead of bolstering his faith as he intended, led him to no longer believe in Christianity and, eventually, all religions.[6] Matt spent many years in the US Navy, before leaving to work in the field of computer software design.
In 2011, Matt married The Atheist Experience colleague Beth Presswood. She was one of the feminists who falsely accused David Silverman of sexual assault. Dillahunty referred to Silverman as a "Piece Of Shit" on the Atheist Experience.
