I’m a retired health policy analyst with a lifelong interest in philosophy, spirituality, and politics. I’ve got three blogs: Church of the Churchless, HinesSight, and Salem Political Snark. I live with my wife, Laurel, and Mooka, our Husky mix, on ten acres in rural south Salem, Oregon. The four books I’ve written are shown at the bottom of the right sidebar, the most recent being Break Free of Dogma. My website is https://www.brianhines.com
