Personal life

Matt was raised as a fundamentalist Baptist Christian, and sought to become a Baptist minister.[4] His religious studies, instead of bolstering his faith as he intended, led to a complete rejection of Christianity. He now continues to study philosophy, religion, science, and history, while educating people about atheism and religion, and "to prevent others from wasting another day on irrational beliefs".[5]

Dillahunty served on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier during the Gulf War and in Haiti during the early 1990s.

Dillahunty married Beth Presswood, a microbiologist, on October 30th 2011.[6]
