This is Free Thought Radio on Air America with your hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor.

Imagine there's no heaven.

It's easy if you try.

No hell below us, Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today.

Happy February to all you irreverence out there, and a very special heathen hello to our new listeners of Columbus, Ohio.

Welcome to Free Thought Radio, the only national radio broadcast devoted to the views of the undevoted,

the 30 million or more adult Americans who are not religious. That's 14 to 16 percent of the U.S. population. And that

unorthodoxy is even higher among teenagers and young adults. So this is radio for the rest of us.

We're broadcasting and streaming live from Air America Radio.

And it's still cold here in Madison, Wisconsin, in early February.

I'm Dan Barker, your friendly neighborhood atheist.

And maybe we can warm up a little bit during this show.

A joke that I just read over the Internet.

This man walked into a church, and he went up to the preacher who was like a faith healer,

and he said, can you help me with my hearing?

And so the preacher grabbed both of his ears, and he prayed,

in the name of Jesus, help this man's hearing.

Then he asked the guy, so how's your hearing?

And the guy said, well, I don't know. It's next Wednesday.

So you can, if you like jokes like that, or even if you don't, or if you like the work we're doing to keep state and church separate, you can support these broadcasts and the vital work of the Freedom for Religion Foundation to preserve the constitutional principle of the separation between religion and government.

You can join us. You can become a member of our foundation.
