Summary

We take a light-hearted look at the freethinking credentials of actress/comedian Maya Rudolph, whose birthday is next week. Co-host Annie Laurie Gaylor gives a first-hand account of attending the State Department's Ministerial on Religious Liberty last week, where seculars were an endangered species. FFRF Director of Communications Amit Pal, who co-hosts in Dan Barker's absence, fills us in on FFRF's latest breaking news. Then we interview the remarkable Aline Pham, 17, winner of FFRF's annual essay competition for high school seniors, who tells us why she relies on herself, not a god. Andrew L. Seidel, director of strategic response, then explores the sinister nature of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's new Commission on Unalienable Rights.
