Marine vet Lazaro Facio shares his journey from Catholicism to atheism, exploring morality, family, and life after leaving religion.
We sit down with Lazaro Facio who is a Marine Corps veteran, proud atheist, and member of the ExcommuniDate team as we talk about losing religion and rebuilding identity. Laz shares his story of growing up Catholic, navigating teenage parenthood, finding community in the military, and ultimately deconstructing his faith. We explore what morality looks like without religion, how to cope with family tension after deconstruction, and why being a good person has nothing to do with heaven or hell. This episode offers insight, dark humor, and the kind of real talk you won’t hear in Sunday school, perfect for anyone navigating life after religion.
