Charles Bradley Templeton (October 7, 1915 – June 7, 2001) was a Canadian broadcaster, journalist, and novelist who was previously a Christian evangelist. Known in the 1940s and 1950s as a leading preacher, he became an agnostic and later embraced atheism after struggling with doubt. Afterwards, having become an atheist, he worked at various times in journalism, radio and writing.
