Ryan J. Bell is one of the most popular and richest Pastor who was born on September 26, 1971 in Parma, United States.
In 2010, the Hollywood Adventist Church, where Bell was pastor at the time, won the “2010 Innovative Church of the Year” award. During his time as pastor, his church was part of many different social initiatives and charities: One mile mission, where people took responsibility for the well being of every person within a one-mile radius; LA Voice, a faith-based organization which seeks to improve local communities through social change; and Imagine LA, which helps congregations mentor families coming out of homelessness. In March 2013, Bell was forced to resign from his position as a pastor, after he had argued in favor of ordination of women and the rights of homosexuals. According to Bell, the gap between him and his fellow clergymen had also widened due to his efforts for peace, justice, and interfaith dialogue, which were constantly met with resistance.
After being a Seventh-day Adventist pastor for 19 years, Bell announced his ‘A Year Without God’ experiment on December 31, 2013, on his Huffington Post blog. The idea came from the question that Bell’s friend once asked him: “What difference does God make?” He decided to find out by living the year without God. “For the next 12 months I will live as if there is no God. I will not pray, read the Bible for inspiration, refer to God as the cause of things or hope that God might intervene and change my own or someone else’s circumstances.” Right after stating his intention, Bell lost his position and income at two Christian universities, Azusa Pacific University and Fuller Theological Seminary. In response, an early critic of the experiment, “Friendly Atheist” blogger Hemant Mehta, started a fundraising campaign among atheists to support Bell. The effort garnered $17,000 in its first few days.
