As a serious Christian, he wanted to report objectively and respectfully about how belief shapes people's lives. Instead, something very different happened. Slowly his reporting drifted to the paradoxes of religion, and then to its underbelly. Each story chipped away at his faith. Eight years later, after intense encounters with believers of all sizes and shapes, he realized that his faith in God was gone.\u003c\/p\u003e Losing My Religion takes readers on a profound journey from agnosticism to born-again conversion, and then to a new, deeply satisfying form of contentment without God. This courageous memoir speaks to the millions of believers who have doubts about their faith.William Lobdell has been a journalist for 25 years, winning scores of state and national awards. In 1998, he was assigned to the religion beat for the Los Angeles Times. During his eight years covering faith, he was a finalist for national religion writer of the year in 2002, 2003 and 2004. He left the religion beat when he lost his faith, in 2007. He now produces a feature called \"Living Vicariously in L.A.,\" and is on the visiting faculty at the University of California, Irvine.
