Erica Sims
Name: Erica Sims Born: 1974 Location: Born in Niagara Falls, NY Organization affiliation: American Atheists Label: Atheist, Secularist Former Religious Affiliation: Presbyterian My Story: I grew up in a great family – my mom, dad, younger brother and me. My parents took us to church and Sunday school every week but religion wasn’t a big deal in our house, we went to church and believed in god and the bible but didn’t think much about it except for on Sundays.
