Jessica and I spoke about several stories from the past week involving religion and politics.
— We’re having an in-person celebration in Naperville, IL to mark our 600th episode (and other pleasant things)! Details are here. Hope you can join us on September 13!
— The Catholic Church has a millennial saint, Carlo Acutis. Is that because of miracles or marketing? (1:40)
— The initial report from Trump’s "Anti-Christian Bias" task force reveals... nothing. (18:30)
— Quebec's proposed public prayer ban is a blunt attack on religious freedom. (48:45)
— Christian parents let their baby die while awaiting a miracle. They'll be in jail for a month. (1:21:15)
— Lawrence Krauss' "The War on Science" is a gift to science's real enemies. (1:33:15)
