''See also:'' [[Atheism and marriage]]
The atheist [[Richard Carrier]] divorced his wife and now practices polyamory.<ref>[http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/6737 Coming Out Poly + A Change of Life Venue]</ref> Before divorcing his wife, he was involved in adulterous affairs<ref>[http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/6737 Coming Out Poly + A Change of Life Venue]</ref>
The Christtian apologist Jason Engwar at the Christian blog Triablogue wrote:
{{cquote|Richard Carrier [http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/6737 has a post up announcing that he's "polyamorous"], which he calls his "sexual orientation". He's been adulterous in his relationship with his wife, and they decided to get a divorce after having tried polyamory for a while. In the thread, he refers to how he has "sympathy for people who cheat on their spouses", how he's come across "many" polyamorists, and how he's become more convinced that "monogamy is the actual problem". So far, most of the responses at his blog are positive.<ref>[http://triablogue.blogspot.com/2015/02/atheism-adultery-polyamory-and-shifting.html Atheism, Adultery, Polyamory, And Shifting Morals]</ref>}}
Carrier advocates the crank notion that [[Jesus]] never existed and is merely a myth which is a baseless, extreme minority position among historians and contrary to abundant historical evidence pointing to Jesus being a historical figure (The ''Great Soviet Encyclopedia'', a parcel of the [[propaganda]] of the atheistic, [[communism|communist]] [[Soviet Union]], is the only encyclopedia to ever advocate the Christ myth.
