According to the Center for Inquiry:
| “ | Ms. Richards’ parents’ own distancing from their religious upbringing contributed to her lifelong atheism. The most recent and blatant encroachment of religious ideology into women’s civil rights has forced her into activism, starting with the tweeting, filming and livestreaming of the UniteWomen Ohio event in April 2012. Attending CFI’s Women in Secularism conference that same year motivated her to get involved even more.[6] | ” |
