SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: http://www.naturebox.com/thinkingatheist

Gretta Vosper has been an atheist for many years, and she preaches/teaches from the perspective of a Bible skeptic, a rationalist, a humanist, and a non-believer in a literal god.

Now, the United Church of Canada is considering her removal from church leadership because of her atheism. In this broadcast, we talk with Gretta personally and ask: Why does an atheist minister belong in a church?
