Announcing friendship with atheist conservative Jillian Becker
Republican Atheists is proud to announce friendship with outspoken atheist conservative commentator and author, Jillian Becker.
Those who have been following Republican Atheists for some time know that the organization has collaborated with Becker many times. In fact, she was one of the first outspoken atheists to support Republican Atheists when it launched in early 2017, and was even kind enough to publish a blog post on her website introducing the organization to her following. Since then she has mentioned Republican Atheists several times to her Facebook following of over 10,000 users.
Becker was included on Republican Atheists’ blog post, “Impressive Conservative Atheist Women that US atheist organizations continue to ignore.” In 2020, Becker shared never-seen-before photos of herself with Republican Atheists to officially publish for the public to view, which can be seen here. We have also highlighted the Jillian Becker Lecture hosted by The Freedom Association.
We greatly appreciate the support Becker has given us since we first launched, and thought it was only fitting to add her to our official friends list. Here is more background about Becker, including links to purchase her published books.
Jillian Becker is founder and editor-in-chief of The Atheist Conservative (www.theatheistconservative.com). She writes both fiction and non-fiction. Her first novel, The Keep, is now a Penguin Modern Classic. Her best known work of non-fiction is Hitler’s Children: The Story of the Baader-Meinhof Terrorist Gang, an international best-seller and Newsweek (Europe) Book of the Year 1977. She was Director of the London-based Institute for the Study of Terrorism 1985-1990, and on the subject of terrorism contributed to TV and radio current affairs programs in Britain, the US, Canada, and Germany.
