...Low’s path to religion is not an unusual one. He spent his 20s living a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll. This ended when he joined the Ignite church in Joplin, Missouri and became friendly with the pastor there. He subsequently played guitar for the church and lead its youth group.

The God Delusion made clear everything Low was struggling with. For example, why would a “perfect God” damn over half of the world’s population to Hell simply for being born in the “wrong culture.”

So Low moved away from religion and the church, stopped praying for a cure to his alcoholism and instead “combated it with real methods.” He has since cleaned up his act, even enrolling in college.
