to start opening your eyes.

Alright, welcome to the ATS Experience. We are alive today is July 2nd, 2017. It's actually down there below my name.

I don't know why I look up to the sky. Is that the answer to what day is it is going to come from the sky?

It's Independence Day weekend in the United States and so a lot of people are getting extra time off.

Happy Birthday USA.

Hey, this is a live show.

Which means anything can happen. It could go wrong. It could go right. We take calls from people.

We talk about what they believe and why. Sometimes it's really poignant.

Had a call last week that went really well. Sometimes it's antagonistic. Sometimes we get stuff wrong.

But most of the time we have good conversations and enjoy ourselves. I'm your host Matt Dillonie, 20 minutes week.

John Ayakale.

I'll be.

Yeah, this is sponsored by the ATH East Community of Austin. And if you didn't know, the ATH East Community of Austin is a nonprofit educational organization promoting positive atheism in the separation in church and state.

And you can donate to the ACA, tax deductible donations, both by going to ATH Easttaxandcommunity.org and finding the donate link there.

Or I'm told now on YouTube.

As we stream this live to YouTube, we are also streaming it live to the ATH East Experience Facebook page if I'm correct.

And I believe we're still on you stream for now. But there's a number of different ways for you to try to catch the show.

And we're constantly making improvements to the show. We're making improvements to the studio.

Some things take more time and some things, by the way, take quite a bit of money.

And after being at the board many day, I thought it would be nice to mention that for the year we are currently running at a deficit.

Now, we'll find a way to fix it. But you know what would fix it really, really quickly?

If like 14,000 people clicked the donate link and donated a dollar that it fixed the deficit that we're working at for studio improvements and other stuff, just like that.
