Caption : “Divorce” by @officialbyredo. 💄 If you have a skin tone like mine, where red lipsticks usually turn pink, this satiny orange-red has you covered. You know I love a vintage-inspired red lip. 💋 On my face is @herbalfacefood’s The Serum III (code ALICEG20 for 20% off!) and @supergoop’s Glowscreen in “Golden Hour.” #makeupoftheday #byredo #byredomakeup #makeuplover #lipstick💄

Caption : @ryanessmaker reminds me that sometimes you’ve just gotta follow your impulses and forget the storyboards and shot lists. Whether a major motion picture or an Instagram reel, a scribble on a napkin or an oil painting, a clever joke or a stand-up comedy tour, I think we are all artists. I think making art is one of the most meaningful parts of being alive. Been thinking about this a lot lately: how we die for art, for books we consider holy, for temples we gather in to make music, for dancing in ways that are so beautiful, they become forbidden. Art will always be a threat to our survival because it’s what makes us want to live. That’s something I keep circling in my mind—how our innate creativity is our greatest life source and our greatest threat. Right now, I feel deeply grateful to have the luxury of making art, of making it with someone I love, and of sharing it freely without fear. You know where to find the rest. Whether the art you make today is a meal, a poem, a joke, or a mere selfie, savor your ability to make it. 💙

Caption : From #purityculture to #PlayboyBunny! 🐰 Swipe to see the before! I’m Alice and it felt time for a reintroduction… Many of you know me as a TV/film actress. I grew up as a homeschooled, purity ring-wearing, #evangelicalChristian. People always ask me what it’s like being an atheist in Hollywood—and why I became a Playboy Bunny. So, I put together this intro. If you swipe, you’ll see me as a modestly dressed Christian missionary. My life’s purpose was to glorify God, especially through the teachings of #purityculture. This included covering myself so that I wouldn’t be a #stumblingblock—a pitfall of sin causing men to lust. Everything changed when I was betrothed at 17 to a man I didn’t love. My faith not only cracked. It shattered. This shattering ultimately led to my liberation. If you’re curious, I wrote a book about my journey called “Wayward: A Memoir of Spiritual Warfare & Sexual Purity.” TLDR: With years of therapy, an accidental career in Hollywood, and the love and grace of secular friends, I eventually healed from what I now know to be #religioustrauma. In 2019, I founded @DaretoDoubt, a resource site for people detaching from belief systems they come to find harmful. Publishing my book further established my voice in #deconstruction and #atheist spaces. These days, I prefer describing myself as a #freethinker, for dogma is not limited to religion. My life’s purpose now is helping others free themselves from the shackles of fear and shame within any ideology. Today, I’m a lot of things: a writer, a public speaker, a podcaster, and yes—a Playboy Bunny! Part of my healing from purity culture has been indulging my love of pinup and dress-up—or rather, dress-down… 🫦 I learned rebellion is sacred medicine. “Playboy’s greatest critics through its history have been members of the Moral Right and what Hugh Hefner would have described as ‘radical feminists,’” says journalist Jamilah Lemiuex. These are also my greatest critics. Link in bio for all the things that’ll show you why, from my writing to photography!💄🖋️ I’m so happy you’re here! 💋, Alice

Caption : Swipe! 👉🏼 I highlight the toxic parallels of #religion and #socialjusticeculture so we can recognize and help prevent abuse within each. Both have positive goals. My advocacy lies in helping people recover from the damage of good intentions. I’ve found healing seeing different ways #fundamentalism presents, whether faith-based or #secular. As more people are shunned and shamed by secular purity culture, there’s a growing need for their support, just as there is for those shunned by religious purity culture. I aim not to complain without offering solutions, not to criticize without suggesting alternatives, and not to be anti- without stating what I am pro-. I am anti-shaming, anti-shunning, and anti-public humiliation. I am pro-curiosity, pro-vulnerability, and pro-private conversations. I am also pro-diversity—diversity of approaches to reaching the same goals. If public call-outs and shunning align with your integrity, go for it. What aligns with my integrity is pointing out how this often backfires and worsens the very problems being called out. It is not the GOALS of #socialjustice culture I object to—it is their METHODS I am in deep disagreement with. I share the goals of safety, inclusion, and love. I reject the methods of public humiliation, disfellowship, and Behavior Information Thought & Emotional (BITE) Control. How can we expect people to change when we cut them off from what we hope they’ll change toward? When we bar people’s ability to be in community with others who hold different perspectives, we deprive them of the wisdom and growth that comes with time. My Christian fundamentalist mind changed because my secular friends accepted me. It took years. Instead of giving up on people who commit #wrongthink, invite them further in. This may not be helpful in every instance. But too often I see calls for “keeping spaces safe” by shunning former members and maligning their character rather than showing, not preaching, what inclusion and diversity look like. Or were these always skin-deep? Curiosity > condemnation. Understanding > vilification. Compassion > bigotry. Disagreement > disfellowship. Image credit to @NakedPastor and @CultExpert

Caption : Receiving the Freethought Heroine Award from @ffrf_official truly was the highlight of my 2022. Many have asked for a written version of my acceptance speech, “What Freethought Means to Me As a Former Fundamentalist.” (Yes, this is the one where I critique #cancelculture, sharing why I don’t think I would have ever left evangelical Christianity had I been a young adult today.) I’m pleased to say that it’s now on my Substack—and it’s free to read! 👉🏼 Link in bio to my blog #Unaccountable “I observe fear and shame to be the most powerful inhibitors of freethought. Together, fear and shame arrest us from empathy, from curiosity, and from the pursuits of liberty and love that give our lives meaning. When we are afraid to think, for our thoughts might lead to the words and actions we are told are condemnable, we trap ourselves and each other in cycles of ever-increasing dogma and obedience. No one may question whether the dogma is sound or the obedience blind… Freedom of thought ultimately means freedom from fear and freedom from shame.” If my piece resonates, please share. Thank you. 🥰 #freethought #freedomfromreligion #FFRF #freefromshame #cancelcancelculture #goodwithoutgod #freethinker

Caption : Bitch, I said what I said. 💅🏼 Part 1/2: Addressing #cowards who want me to speak up more — but won’t even like my shit in public. Don’t get me wrong. I have compassion for your cowardice. I understand your livelihood may be at stake, as well as your social survival and sense of community. But I won’t always take the fall for the silent agreement of many when you, who love what I post, are too scared of its backlash to even follow me from your public account. Some of you are not cowards. You are erring on the side of silence because of other deeply thought-out reasons. I get that and this message is not for you. It’s mostly for the keyboard warriors, far-Leftists, and religious conservatives who follow me and are simply afraid to say they agree with me in public because it means losing their social belonging and possibly endangering their livelihoods. “But I’ll lose my job.” I’m self-employed. My living hinges on being likable, too. I’m still willing to lose money and popularity for what I see as keeping my integrity. For those who appreciate such acknowledgements: No, I am not a parent. I have the luxury of sharing my perspectives unencumbered by the fear of how I’m going to support a family if I get fired for stating a “wrong” opinion. I know several people currently working for companies that are staunchly on one side of the Israel-Palestine war. These friends have received memos stating such — implying that if they voice a public opinion that is “not in alignment with company values,” they risk being fired. By all means, private companies should have the right to enforce no-politics policies in the workplace. But to threaten job loss if an employee voices an opinion outside of work-related accounts, in their personal life… I understand why many of you are rightfully scared. But I am, too. So don’t ask me to keep saying more of what you can’t even whisper while you hide behind your anonymous account. #freespeech #cowardice #freethinker #freethinking #exfundamentalist #cancelculture #anticancelculture #freethought #criticalthinking #tribalism

Caption : Otter Pops and Pixy Stix. Rock candy so pretty you save it for weeks until the melts it into your nightstand. Soaps of rosette you aren’t supposed to use, and you understand why. They’re too pretty pink to grime with playground hands. Life will be a pizza party one day, you think, hypnotized by the rhythmic whir of the ceiling fan. And you won’t need to mark your leftovers with an ‘A’ because all the stuffed crust will be all yours, just for you, and your bedroom will be painted lime green and you won’t have to keep Savage Garden a secular secret. Although…the lyrics could be about God. You could argue that if you need to. 💚💚💚 #MorningThoughts of #90s #nostalgia, when ceiling fan gazing was what we did instead of iPad scrolling, and #OtterPops were second only to Squeezits as a hot weather treat.

Caption : What social media marketing coaches don’t tell you… 📰 If you feel like you’re getting contradicting and ineffective advice, you are. I see so many coaches exhorting us to show up #authentically in order to grow our followings—and, if we’re promoting something that makes us money, to grow our bank accounts. Yet we’re also being told to niche ourselves. If you’ve realized that showing up authentically loses you more followers than you gain, I’m here to affirm that! 😂 You’re not crazy and you’re probably like me: not good at “authentically” showing up as only one piece of yourself. “Be authentic,” and, “Niche yourself,” are, to many of us, utterly paradoxical. Compartmentalizing yourself to please others—and an algorithm—will help you grow. You will gain followers and your business will flourish faster. You will be more liked, more engaged with, and more purchased from when you focus on a singular aspect of who you are that is relevant to what you’re selling, whether it’s information through a podcast or products through affiliate links. But I personally do not call this being authentic. I call this marketing. This gets especially tricky when your business is, in and of itself, multi-faceted. Many of my friends are intellectuals. Their podcasts, Patreons, and YouTube channels are broad-ranging from health and spirituality (hello, @CurioCityPod) to news (hello, @BrigidaDag) to politics (hello, @PuntersPolitics). These latter two categories are not even being pushed by algorithms anymore.  So what do big-picture thinkers and multi-faceted creatives like us do? Not gonna lie, what I’ve found is pretty discouraging. If you’ve been trying to implement #socialmedia #marketing advice to all but zero growth, you’re not alone. 👉🏼 Link in bio to read the rest of my latest blog post on #Unaccountable!

She’d be in awe—both alarmed and dazzled—by the woman she’d become. She’d be worried and overwhelmed by what it would it take to get there, but mostly, I think she’d be excited. My life has turned out far, far greater than I ever let myself dream. I exceeded my wildest expectations. With others’ help and willingness, I fulfilled my deepest desires. I earned my meaning, purpose, and joy. I am so grateful, and honored, to be able to support causes that help others realize these in their own lives, and I recognize that safety, security, and freedom are foundational to allowing these to flourish. So this is just a post of gratitude and a prompt to remember who you were at 10 years old. What dreams have you fulfilled? How far have you come? What more do you have yet to realize and bring to fruition? What makes you happiest and what makes you feel filled with purpose? Do you accept and love yourself? Pat yourself on the back.

Caption : This is the inside cover of my diary at 10 years old. ✍🏼 Link in bio to my latest blog post on Unaccountable! It’s rather strange being an adult entertainer known for stories about her childhood. If you’ve felt jolted by my social media posts ping-ponging from innocence to sexiness, with religious trauma rants and funny cat memes in between, you’re not alone. I’m well aware of the breadth that my content spans. It is but a microcosm glimpse of my inner world, the true arrays of which are reserved only for those who know and love me best. I say this to acknowledge the incongruency you may perceive. If it bothers you, I understand, yet I am a whole person. Not a niche. Every woman was once a girl. This newsletter is another deleted scene — an entire deleted chapter, rather — from my book, “Wayward: A Memoir of Spiritual Warfare & Sexual Purity.” The last scene I shared was an Easter story. I swear I didn’t mean for its follow-up to be a Passover story but — by sheer coincidence — Passover is tomorrow and here we are. The bulk of my published memoir takes place in my teen and young adult years. It was the precious pages of my pre-teen youth that were mostly cut. Come back with me to April of 1996, to my world of homemade hoopskirts, bunk bed kisses, and a prophesy that haunted me all the way into adulthood! 👉🏼 Link in bio to Unaccountable! #wayward #deletedscenes #childhooddiaries #memoir #vineyardmusic #spiritualwarfare #purityculture #firstkiss #religioustrauma #TorontoBlessing #exChristian #Passover #messianicjewish #exvangelical #atheist #atheistsofinstagram #AliceGreczyn

Caption : Why do people let themselves get knocked to the floor at mass #revivals? What is #speakingintongues? How are people miraculously cured of long-standing ailments—and why isn’t everyone who receives #prayer from a #faithhealer? I’ve been promising a video and written version of my conference presentation on this topic for a while. When my friend @doubtandabout invited me on his hugely popular YouTube channel #HolyKoolaid to collaborate on an #exposé of #faithhealers, I leaped at the chance! Learning the #science behind the #supernatural looking phenomena I saw growing up as a #CharismaticChristian was crucial to my healing from #religioustrauma. For years after I lost my faith, I was haunted by memories of what I’d been told was proof of the Holy Spirit—and therefore proof of God and, I believed, proof of hell. I am thrilled to share what I’ve learned with a wider audience. My goal is not to mock people who undergo genuine #mysticalexperiences, nor belittle the interpretations that may help give their lives meaning. My motive is to help people like my younger self who are desperate for #evidencebased answers to #faithbased confusion. 📺 Watch my 10-minute video collaboration with Thomas at YouTube.com/@HolyKoolaid 👉🏼 Link in bio to my Substack “Unaccountable” where you can read the written version of “Drunk, High, & Hypnotized: The Neuroscience of Mystical Experiences.” I first gave this presentation at @wisecounsellor’s Conference On Religious Trauma. I was also honored to give it at @rfrorg, @freethoughtflorida, and @nashvillenones. I’m thrilled to finally offer a written and video version thanks to @doubtandabout!🥰 #neurotheology #neuroscience #faithhealing #miracles #supernatural #atheist #atheistcommunity #atheistsofinstagram #paranormal #debunked #Christianity #Pentecostal #HolyRoller #revival #religioustraumasyndrome

Caption : You are allowed to make art out of your pain. Comedic art, dramatic art, erotic art, and offensive art. You are allowed to pry open old wounds and lick them with laughter. You are allowed to highlight scars old and fresh and tattoo them with beauty. You are allowed to fictionalize your story or tell the rawness of your truth. You are allowed to share it. You are allowed to keep it private. You are allowed to profit from it or donate it for free. I’ve said before: Art is what transforms the world. Art is what heals humanity. Art is what persuades a mind to change. Not politics, not lectures, and not data, however much I personally wish these would speak for themselves. When the ideas these provoke are accompanied by art—whether a bold, graphic text or a months-long painting or a years-long film—the impact of their reach extends further than their information alone. You may think you’re not artistic. Do you cook? Do you invent? Do you build Legos, plan parties, or decorate your home? Do you streamline and condense, or maximize and whimsify? Do you debate? Do you structure? I have yet to meet a person who wasn’t creative in some way, however not-artistically they may think of themselves. Not all art will resonate with everyone. It’s not supposed to. Art is a risk and speaks most to those who can relate. Taste is subjective and impact is immeasurable. So keep making your art, whatever it is. You never know whom you will reach and how much you will help to heal them. ❤️ #forthesakeofart #artheals #laughteristhebestmedicine #creativitymatters 📷: @ryanessmaker

Caption : My first #actinggig was an #EasterSunday play when I was four years old and my dad was the senior pastor of our #FoursquareChurch. 👉🏼 Link in bio to my blog #Unaccountable, where you can read this deleted scene from my book, “Wayward: A Memoir of Spiritual Warfare & Sexual Purity.” This video clip is from my podcast appearance on @preacherboysdoc, hosted by @eskwarczynski. His goal is to help expose the abuses of #religiousfundamentalism. I was raised #nondenominationalchristian and we certainly did not consider ourselves #fundamentalist in the least. But there was abuse and for me, it was intensely psychological—and often because I didn’t know how to interpret the Bible allegorically instead of literally. Many kids like me grow up unable to hear God themselves and are therefore reliant on the interpretations of what “God” tells other people, and what they’re left to decipher from the Bible itself. The #Easter story is not one about unconditional love. It’s a story about an egomaniacal narcissist who sent his only child to be tortured and killed as payment for sins he knew we’d commit when he created us. (Or is God not all-knowing, after all?) The penalty for rejecting this belief is eternal torture in hell. This is what I celebrated every Easter Sunday for 21 years until I freed myself. ❤️ I understand that many find overwhelming beauty and redemption in the tale of Christ’s death and resurrection. Truly, I am happy for you. All I ever found was shame and fear—and the utter absence of a God who chose and still chooses to remain silent to me. Please, unfollow if you cannot handle this truth, for I may never stop writing about it. 👉🏼 Listen to my full conversation with Eric by going to the link in bio of @preacherboysdoc and finding episode 279: When God Becomes Chaos. Or, watch on YouTube if you’re more visual! 👉🏼 Link in bio to “Unaccountable” where you can read this deleted scene and more! #exvangelical #exChristian #atheist #bornagain #religioustrauma #religioustraumasyndrome #purityculture #godisnotgood #actress #Wayward🍎🐍

Caption : The refund told me before she did. She’d kicked me out of her poetry class. She, who exhorted women to tell their truth and to tell it fearlessly, said that I’d made some women in her class feel “unsafe.” My crime? Sharing that my wildest dream was to be on @joerogan. She’d opened her workshop with a poem about not being a good girl. “Fuck good,” she’d said. I’d believed she meant it. “You openly declared you’re not a safe person,” her message explaining the refund told me. Yes, fellow writer, because you know more than anyone that writing is not safe. The pen is as dangerous as a camera is as dangerous as a gun. I’d sent her the declaration accompanying my most controversial blog piece when asking permission to sign up for her class. I’d wanted her to read it before entering her space with my truth. “Alice, pleeeease sign up,” she’d assured me. “These women are truth-tellers.” I fell for it. Instead lifting me up, she let other women tear me down. I found another poetry class that wasn’t exclusive to women. I know women aren’t the problem and that women’s spaces are meant to provide safety. But I’ve learned time and again that a safe space is a rigid space. An exclusionary space is a cancel-able space. It doesn’t matter what the criteria is for membership. If it’s not open to all, I now assume it is not open to me. According to some, I am a dangerous woman. These coaches accuse me of this while their Instagram bios celebrate being dangerous women themselves. “Good girls never make history,” they quote, preaching Instagram Reels about rejecting ideas of feminine docility—then rejecting me if I don’t reject docility in their way. I’m so done. Fuck your safe space. Fuck your feminine retreat. Woman, I love. Women, I fear. Love and light, bitches. 🚬 ••• #NotesFromMyNotes of 2021, shared #forthepoetry.

Caption : Did you know? 🥣 Dr. John Harvey Kellogg had a very ulterior motive for making his famous breakfast cereal. Did #Kelloggs #cornflakes work for you? 😂 More #funfacts about the late doctor: • Dr. Kellogg was a #SeventhDayAdventist. • He was an advocate for the #ProgressiveMovement while also advocating eugenics and segregation (progress is so relative, no?). • He was so sincere in his belief that seggs was bad for health, he reportedly never even consummated his own marriage. • He invented #granola among other cereals and is one of several people credited with inventing peanut butter. • His wife, Ella, is supposedly the one who suggested rolling out cornflake dough into thin sheets to then crumble into flakey pieces! Thats all, folks! Happy Friday!

Caption : So grateful to @eskwarczynski for having me on the @preacherboysdoc podcast to talk #purityculture, #religioustrauma, and finding healing through embracing my sensuality. I’ve shared before in stories how I know my path to healing is very much not everyone’s—to me, this is obvious and needn’t even be said. But I’ve heard numerous times from women that I am “promoting unhealthy healing methods” and implying that I think the only way to heal from s*xual shame is to do so the way I did. No! No, no, no, pleeeease no. So, for the record that is the feed lol, let me be clear: Heal your own way. Don’t judge others for healing their way. What helps one hurts another, and what hurts one person can be healing to someone else. We are all so very different. This is okay. 🤍🤍🤍 #exevangelical #exvangelical #purityculturedropout #purityculturesurvivor #healing #religioustraumasyndrome #exChristian

Caption : When I engage in private dialogue about topics like what I posted yesterday, people often express surprise that I am pro-#socialjustice. I feel hurt and baffled by their surprise until I remember that most people don’t read words carefully. Many project their own assumptions, hearsay, and fill in my blanks with what they expect from people who might say things similar to what I say, rather than taking in my words alone. I am pro-LGBTQ rights. I am pro-women’s rights. I am pro-racial equality. “But why don’t you post more about those?” Because I’ve learned the hard way that when I share pics of my friends who are LGBTQ and POC, they get dragged into the misperception many have of me that I am “tokenizing” them, “using” them, and that they are “blind to my obvious racism and bigotry.” This is cruel beyond words and so false I almost can’t bear addressing it. So no, you won’t see me sharing pics of the diversity within my life because the social justice activists who react to it are exactly the reason I leave my loved ones out of their box-ticking morality tests. Because many have made up their minds about me, I am often accused of virtue signaling or attempting to backpedal whenever I do post about a cause that is perceived as more progressive, Left, and liberal. I know my motives. ❤️❤️❤️

Caption : Men, do you like when a woman splits or picks up the tab? Some men insist on paying for a #firstdate and say they’re #gentlemen who would never expect me to owe them anything. Sir, do you know how many times I’ve heard that? Let her split or pick up the tab if she wants to! 💸 And ladies! #Stopplayin! Mean what you say and stop testing men by faux-offering to pay. When you don’t say what you mean, you fuck it up for the rest of us who are genuine when we say #yesmeansyes—*and* you contribute to the double-message ambiguity that leaves many men second-guessing whether #nomeansno. 💕 #datingadvice #datingadviceformen #datingadviceforwomen #chivalry #feminism

Caption : New blog post! I have also met the D*M*T* aliens. 😂👽 Furthermore, I’ve communicated with The Swirls. IYKYK. While some people, like this post (swipe!) from @doubleblindmag points out, interpret the consistencies of D*M*T* trips as affirmation that users are “tapping into” a real realm, writer and neuroscientist @tipado offers us another way of looking at it. His curiosity makes me feel seen, as I hope my writing makes other people feel seen. One of my greatest joys, and one of my deepest senses of purpose, is to demystify the mystical. I understand why it can feel like unkind or embittered hole-poking to others. That’s an unfortunate ramification I am still learning to try and fine-tune yet…it also isn’t my responsibility how others interpret my words—nor my omissions. I seem to have unsettled many who have gotten used to me critiquing religion but are unused to me critiquing spirituality. My critiques of both are nothing new. I’ve been blogging publicly about these topics since 2009. I recently told a friend that I often spend around 1,000 words of any blog post attempting to cushion what I really mean to say with disclaimers and other digestives that I hope might appease those who can’t (or won’t) as readily understand my perspective. I’m trying to do less of that, for it’s starting to feel like apologizing for my truth. Others, especially spiritual people, so rarely apologize for theirs, nor do I see them cushioning their broad statements about souls and the like to the soulless like me. Why am I trying so hard not to offend those who may never understand, nor have compassion for, my soulless worldview? Especially because I know my view is needed. 🥰 👉🏼 Link in bio to #Unaccountable, my blog on Substack that’s totally free to read! I wrote this piece to have as a reference for when I unintentionally hurt spiritual people with my scientific inquiries. In short: My motives are love, just like theirs.
