Pages 44-45: Boghossian romanticizes the Street Epistemologist as a hero rescuing people from the faith "virus"

There’s a literal “Manual for Creating ATHEISTS” 00:27:43 – 00:28:46

Mike reads from pages 44-45

Page 44-45 quote: "As a Street Epistemologist one of your primary goals is to help people reclaim the desire to know, a sense of wonder... you'll help people destroy foundational beliefs, flimsy assumptions, faulty epistemologies, and ultimately faith." Page 45: "Helping rid people of illusion is a core part of the Street Epistemology project and an ancient and honorable goal. Disabusing others of warrantless certainty and reinstilling their sense of wonder and their desire to know is a profound contribution to a life worth living." Mike notes Boghossian elsewhere calls faith a "virus."
