Telltale is a critic of Religion (especially Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). He has made responses to the Mormon/Latter Day Saints (LDS) channel Saints Unscripted, formerly and better known as The 3 Mormons. He does this despite not having a past with the LDS. He has also covered cults such as Teal Swan and Scientology.
==Jehovah's Witnesses==
Owen Morgan was born in 1989 into a Jehovah's Witness family. Around 17, he began dating another Jehovah's Witness, and they eventually broke up. He was so distraught by this that he went over to a Burger King coworker's house one night, where he smoked for the first time.
Other Jehovah's Witnesses at his school told the elders at his Kingdom Hall about it and the elders attempted to disfellowship him as a result. He then began to hang out with another girl who wasn't a Jehovah's Witness and they apparently drank and smoked together. On his 18th birthday, Owen was kicked out of his mother's homehttps://twitter.com/JWWatchorg/status/1408741977705926657 for drinking and smoking. Having nowhere to live, he began living with a Burger King coworker at his trailer.
The girl he smoked and drank with lived with him. On April 21, 2008, he married that girl, but they separated shortly after. On January 21, 2009, he had his daughter Kylie, whom he jokingly refers to as AlphaForceZero.
Sometime in 2018 he started dating his girlfriend, Rose. She has appeared in a few of his videos, including a miniseries about cult dating websites. They married on June 21, 2021.https://twitter.com/telltaleatheist/status/1406983785946791938
In late 2020, Owen founded Apostate Refuge, which helps people who have escaped oppressive religions.https://apostaterefuge.org It has a YouTube channel.
==Health teacher incident==
In March 2021, Owen uploaded a video on his channel titled "My Daughter's Health Teacher Tried To INDOCTRINATE THE CLASS", which featured a recording of Kylie's health teacher discussing religious beliefs in class. Owen objected to the teacher telling the students that it was wrong to be sexually active, and relating this to the Bible.
When Owen released his video, saying that involving the Bible in education is against the law, many of his neighbors in West Virginia threatened him and his daughter, and posted hate comments about him on social media. In a later video, he said he could not leave the house out of fear of abuse. The incident caused him to bring forward plans to move to New York.https://religionnews.com/2021/12/03/atheists-find-community-on-youtube-and-in-person/
His wife has since written about their family's experience during and after the health teacher incident in an article for American Atheists called "Christian Nationalists are Coming for Your Children."American Atheists Magazine Q3 2022, p. 20https://www.scribd.com/document/615922187/American-Atheist-Magazine-Q3-2022
