Flynt is publisher of more than a dozen adult magazines, including Hustler.
In the epilogue of his autobiography, An Unseemly Man, Flynt says, “I have left my religious conversion behind and settled into a comfortable state of atheism. I have come to think that religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. The Jerry Falwells of this world are living proof of the hypocrisy that permeates organized religion in America and around the world.” Flynt dismisses his previous conversion to Christianity (since recanted) as the result of a manic-depressive episode.
