Strong Women in Secular Spaces: Dr. Marlene Winell - Christianity Run Amok
DIVORCED: Christianity
Dr. Marlene Winell is a licensed psychologist, educator, and writer. Her background includes 30 years of experience in human services, in both community and academic settings. She holds a doctorate in Human Development and Family Studies from Pennsylvania State University and is the author of Leaving the Fold: A guide for former fundamentalists and others leaving their religion.
Dr. Winell directs the organization Journey Free, which offers services for recovery from harmful religion. In 2011, she named "Religious Trauma Syndrome." Marlene is also a filmmaker, photographer, mother, and grandmother.
Today, we explore institutionalized religionism in the USA, as well as ways in which Trump represents the worst elements of Christianity.
Below are Dr. Winell's articles referenced in our conversation:
- Trump's Worldview Mirrors the Most Archaic and Apocalyptic of Christian Beliefs
- It's Not Just Personal: The Collective Trauma of Religion
