Matt was a small-town Christian boy when he met with a number of unlikely turns that took him far from his obedient, omnivorous origins.
Part memoir and part travelog, interspersed with essays, photographs, musings, and tips, Losing My Religions takes you on a journey to true love, crushing betrayals, and near-death and near-marriage experiences.
Catholicism, chronic pain, consciousness, depression, disability, drugs, free will, money, philosophy, sex, sociology, Sportsball!, and suicide are just some of what he deals with in 54 years, covered here over the course of 31 days. In these pages, you live May 2022 with Matt, traveling across Europe and the Southwestern United States to hear how he became an atheist, father of a non-binary child, a hated and hunted former vegan, and survivor of accidents and illnesses that haven't killed him. Yet.
Losing reveals that on his life's journey, Matt changed his mind, discovered three tips everyone should know, and found the first key to happiness. Arriving home from his May 2022 travels, he is still a cranky old man who should never have been born, broken from lung to heart to neck to jaw to nose. But traveling with his soulmate showed Matt it is still possible to be so happy it's scary while wearing clothes.
