Darante' LaMar
Darante’ LaMar is what happens when a pastor deconstructs, keeps the mic, and builds a people-centric stage instead.
Part theologian, part sociologist, part tech-savvy futurist — and all heart — Darante’ blends street-level wisdom with intellectual firepower to lead one of the most compelling secular humanist movements online.
Through BridgeCity, his radical reimagining of community beyond superstition, he’s crafted a virtual gathering space where connection is sacred, progress is purpose, and Sunday Sessions hit like TED Talks with soul — no scriptural strings attached.
Growing from just 52 subscribers to over 31,000 in under a year, Darante’s channel proves there’s a global hunger for content that’s honest, sharp, and empowering beyond belief.
By day, he’s a strategist and systems thinker. By night, he’s scripting skits, unpacking Bible verses with a Hitchens-level mic drop, and architecting a future where community isn’t confined by dogma.

When I walked away from the pulpit, I thought I was just leaving a belief. What I didn’t realize was that I was stepping into a whole new way of becoming.
Black Nonbeliever Next Door is the story of what happened next—how I wrestled with faith, family, purpose, and what it meant to rebuild from scratch. It’s not a neat or easy story, but it’s real.
Everything I’m working on now—our community, the conversations we’re having every week, the vision we’re building together—has roots in that moment. If you’ve ever wondered how I got here, or why I care so deeply about this work, this book will give you the background.

🚨 TAP IN with BridgeCity Global 🚨
Our community is growing fast—and it’s not just online anymore. 🌍✨
This week, our SoCal family is hosting their very first in-person meetup. And in October, I’ll be joining them live for a powerful weekend of community, empowerment, and transformation.
But here’s the bigger vision: SoCal is just the beginning.
We’re building local BridgeCity communities across the globe—spaces where people like you can connect beyond the screen, grow together, and lead change in your city.
👉 If you’ve ever wanted something real where you live… now’s your chance.
📌 TAP IN using the link below to let us know you’re interested in building a BridgeCity community in your area.
This is how movements begin. One city at a time. One conversation at a time. One community at a time.
🔥 Let’s make it happen.

This is your mind on religion. This is the type of Christianity that I dedicate my time to exposing. Ignorance and superstition are not harmless. They are the twin pillars of excused violence.

On that Friday, I'll get to meet with the local team, share vision, build the team, and hang out with our growing community while experiencing the beautiful city of Los Angeles. However, on Saturday and Sunday, I'll be engaged in conversations and Q&A sessions with my partners and supporters. This is going to be incredible! Stay tuned for more info!

Beyond just casting vision for building community, I expose how cult dynamics shape religion, politics, and culture—and I help people break free. And honestly, that wasn't exactly intentional. I'm passionate about human capacity, and cult ideology just so happens to be in the way. #RiseOfTheAntiCult
