''The Atheist Experience'' is a weekly public-access [[television]] program and [[podcast]] run by the [[Atheist]] community of [[Austin]]. It is usually hosted by ex-[[baptist]] atheist activist [[Matt Dillahunty]], as well as various co-hosts. The show's hosts discuss various religious issues, and take calls from both atheist and religious, usually [[Christian]] callers, answering questions and attempt to offer advice, as well as debating on various issues, usually relating to branches of [[philosophy]] or [[theology]]. The show's hosts make clear that they are not [[scientist|scientists]] and will therefore usually avoid debates on those scientific facts often disputed between [[atheists]] and [[theist|theists]], such as details of [[cosmology]], [[geology]], or [[biology]]. Instead they will often direct callers to contact experts in the field in question.

==Philosophical Views==
On the show, [[Matt Dillahunty]] has repeatedly defined atheism as "a rejection of the premise that a [[God]] or [[Polytheism|Gods]] exist". He says that this does not mean that he accepts the premise that [[antitheism|no God or Gods exist]]. Dillahunty identifies himself as an [[agnostic]] [[atheist]], saying that he does not believe that the truth of what he calls "God claims" can be known.
