This is free thought radio on Air America with co-host Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor,

irreverent views, news, music, and interviews.

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 Give those theocrats hell, are you godless and fiddles?

I'm Annie Laurie Gaylor.

And I'm Dan Barker, your friendly neighborhood atheist.

You're atheist of the airwaves.

Free Thought Radio is broadcasting and streaming live from Air America.

And if you're a regular listener to our show, you know that the show is produced by the National Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Not freedom of religion, freedom from religion, because it can be no religious freedom without the freedom to dissent. We are for freedom of religion, too.

We are just working for a slightly more difficult principle.

But our name is freedom from Religion Foundation. Atheists and agnostics and other types of non-believers

who work to keep state in church separate and to educate the public about what are the views of non-theists in America.

And we have a lot of views, and we're going to be talking with one of those unbelievers later today, Larry Beinhart,

who is best known for his novel, Wag the Dog, that was turned into a movie, you might recall,

with Dustin Hoffman and Robert Deere. It was a farce.

And we're going to talk with Larry Beinhart about his newest book.

It's a mystery. It's called Salvation Boulevard. All about religion versus atheism, which should be a

very pleasant, distracting change of pace. And we have a lot of news to report about the Freedom

from Religion Foundation, and it's very important litigation to keep church and state separate.
