Heather became an atheist and a skeptic after the advent of the Internet with its ever-growing access to information. She has a huge online following and started debating openly her skeptical views after realizing that so many people believed in bad ideas. She met Emery Emery online and discovered that they both shared the same views and both wanted to do something to help correct the huge amount of misinformation available to unsuspecting individuals.
