Summary

Veteran freethought activist Catherine Fahringer, a pithy interview, talks about being an atheist activist in Texas, her rejection of the "Big Spook in the Sky," and some recent Texas state/church violations. Tune in to hear how Charles Colson is defaming atheists these days with an except of his speech before the Southern Baptist Convention, as well as a segment from the Jon Stewart Show about Bush's meeting with the Pope that will make you smile. The show will be the broadcast debut of Dan Barker's "Lucifer's Lament," a song from the point of view of the devil, in the Locrian musical mode known as "the devil's mode." The show is hosted by Foundation co-presidents Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor and is produced by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. (MP3, 52 min, 23.7 MB)
