Shelley Segal

As a singer songwriter whose goal is to reflect and question the world around me my work is deeply influenced by my worldview. My debut album from 2012, 'An Atheist Album' was written as a response to my becoming an atheist and secular activist. It discusses the harm that a religious worldview can cause, witnessed from my own experiences while portraying the meaning and gratitude that I discovered without it.

 The most popular song from that album was my single 'Saved.’ I wrote the song after a preacher in the street told me that I was going to hell. It is my response to a religious ideology and morality being pushed on to me.
