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

Imagine there's no heaven.

It's easy if you try.

No hell below us. Hello us, above us only sky, imagine all the people living for today

hello happy heathens we don't say god bless america around here we say god bless america

i'm annie laurie galore and i'm dan barker your friendly neighborhood atheist of the airwaves

free thought radio is broadcasting and streaming from Air America.

And let's show us a production of the Freedom from Religion Foundation,

the nation's largest organization of atheists and agnostics,

and we keep working to separate religion and government

and to educate the public about the views of those of us who pick none of the above.

And we'll have one of those none of the aboves as a guest later in the show.

We'll have a fascinating guest, William Lobdell, whose new book is coming out in March.

And I just read a book, and it's a fun read.

It's called Losing My Religion, How I Lost My Faith, Reporting on Religion in America, and Found Unexpected Peace.

And if you're a real regular listener, you might remember William Lobdow.

I think we interviewed him back in 2007.

August of 07, just after his story came out.

He wrote a story for the L.A. Times, outing himself as an atheist religion reporter.

But he's written this book in the meantime. And before we get to that interview, there is a lot

to talk about on today's show. But first, Dan, you've been super busy on the road lately for

Free Thought, working especially with college students.
