Brandon is a graduate of Northern Michigan University, where he majored in philosophy and minored in political science. Brandon now studies philosophy at Wayne State University as a graduate student. Religion has always been of interest to him, and thanks to his extensive training in philosophy, he has acquired the skills necessary to examine the concept of religion, as well as his own position as an atheist. Brandon has participated in religious events, debates, and lectures. He defends secularism, as he feels it respects all faiths and beliefs best, and is now particularly interested in the relations between the faithful and the faithless.
