Episode 125 – God Talk
This week we look at the way religious terminology is pervasive in our language and how we deal with that as atheists. Phrases like “bless you” are considered polite and yet they assume something about the belief of the person saying and receiving the statement. We also find ourselves looking at saying “Merry Christmas” vs. […]

Episode 120 – Who Speaks for Atheists?
This week we take a look at the fallout in the Atheism movement following some poorly chosen comments by “leaders” in the movement like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins. The strength of the atheist movement is our combined distaste for organized leadership. It is also a weakness. We examine that dichotomy and try to figure […]

We also spend a little while on […]

Episode 110 – Sunday Assembly
Our guest this week is Hertzey Hertz, who joins us to talk about Sunday assembly, a secular gathering for atheists/agnostics/nones who are looking for a community.
