    Skipp Porteous (born 1944) is a former Pentecostal Christian minister, now an outspoken critic of religious extremism of all kinds. He claims that "man created God in his own image, and he doesn't like the image."

    He has written about his life and experiences in Jesus Doesn't Live Here Any More. In 1984, together with attorney Barbara Simon, Porteous founded the Institute for First Amendment Studies (ceased operating 2001).

    Porteous used to campaign vigorously to expose and counter the political activities of what some refer to as the Religious Right. He now works as a private investigator as founder and president of Sherlock Investigations in New York City. One of his specialties is researching controversial religious groups and cults.
