Sarah Elizabeth "S. E." Cupp (born February 23, 1979) is an American conservative political commentator and writer, co-author of the book Why You're Wrong About the Right with Brett Joshpe, and author of the book Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity.

Personal background

Cupp was born in Carlsbad, California, but raised primarily in Andover, Massachusetts. In 2000, she graduated from Cornell University, with a degree in Art History. While attending Cornell, she worked for her college paper, The Cornell Daily Sun. In 2010, she earned a master's degree in Religious Studies at New York University.

She is a classically trained ballet dancer and over a period of ten years danced with the Ellicott City Ballet, Washington Ballet, and Boston Ballet. She enjoys fishing and target shooting, and also follows NASCAR.

Questionable Atheism

Cupp describes herself as an atheist, although she has stated, "I like to think I adhere to the same Judeo-Christian values that most of religious America does. It's an understanding of and a respect for these values that keeps me moral." However many of her talking points seem a bit off-the-mark and prominent atheists are beginning to question whether or not she is simply claiming to be an atheist for astroturfing purposes or book sales. Among her favorite books by other authors are What's So Great About Christianity and Life After Death: the Evidence, both by Dinesh D'Souza, as well as A Simple Christmas: Twelve Stories that Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit by former pastor and former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. She has authored a new book, entitled Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity, which was released in April 2010. On April 28, 2010 she appeared on the Fox News show "Hannity" to promote the book. During the interview she stated that she does not believe in God today, but is open to possible conversion in the future.Cupp, stated that "Obama delivered another slight to religious America when he became the first president in the history of the United States to mention atheists." Josh Rosenau responded, "First, it isn't a slight to religious people to indicate that there are also non-religious Americans. Cupp being one of those non-religious Americans, she should have appreciated the acknowledgment. But no, she feels slighted on behalf of the religious Americans who were not, themselves, feeling slighted. And she throws in a readily checked falsehood for good measure."

Journalist and commentator

In 2002, she was hired by the New York Times to write and edit for the Index Department. She is also a contributor to Politico.com's The Arena and a guest of Fox's Hannity, Fox & Friends, Strategy Room, The Young Turks and Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. Her writings have appeared at The Washington Post, New York Daily News, Foxnews.com, The American Spectator, Townhall, Newsmax, Human Events, Slate, Maxim, The Daily Caller, SI.com, and CNN.com.

In 2009, she was hired as a columnist at the Daily News Online.
