Harris Sultan is a Pakistani-Australian atheist activist and author of "The Curse of God: Why I Left Islam." His YouTube channel, Pakistani Mulhid, promotes atheism and secularism in Urdu, the language spoken in Pakistan. With tens of thousands of subscribers and an even wider audience, he is able to reach countless atheists in one of the world's largest Muslim countries—in their language—with a message that would land him in jail or worse if he did it on the ground. While "armchair experts" and "slacktivists" were disparaged in the past, we're now seeing how internet connections and YouTube channels can be so much more powerful than pens and picket signs. With so many of us working from home during this COVID-19 era, Harris and I talk about how to be an effective and influential activist online.
