Freedomain Radio is the largest and most popular philosophy show on the web, with over 100 million downloads and is 100% funded by viewers".[1]

Views

Molyneux is liberal on some social issues, such as the legality of drugs and same-sex marriage. He formerly supported abortion. He is also an atheist, but dislikes the fact that the atheist worldview tends to produce people who are left-leaning when it comes to economics (See: Atheism and economics and Atheism and politics)[2]. He said it makes him question whether or not atheism is true[3].

Education

He earned a Masters in History from University of Toronto in 1993, a Bachelor of Arts in History from McGill University in 1991, studied two years of English Literature at York University in Toronto, and studied acting at the National Theatre School of Canada.[4]
