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.

Hello, happy heathens and hellbound atheists.

I'm Annie Laurie Gaylor.

Welcome to Free Thought Radio, your weekly antidote to the religious right domination of our public airwaves.

We're broadcasting from Madison's Progressive Talk, the Mike 92.1, streaming live from

Madison, Wisconsin, and podcasting on August 18, 2007.

And I'm here, too.

I'm Dan Barker, your friendly neighborhood atheist.

I'm one of those out-of-the-closet atheist.

Hey, I wish I had a card that says atheist, so I could be, so that I could say I'm a card-carrying atheist. But you are, I don't know what we call you, you are wearing your baseball cap that says out-of-the-closite atheists. You're a cap-wearing atheist. These brand-new hats we have to say out of the closet. They're very nice. They're embroidered, and they come in denim or khaki, and you can look them up at ffrf.org.

This show, Free Thought Radio, is a production of the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

We are people who are free from religion, atheists, agnostics, other types of non-believers, deist, secular humanists, who also think that our government should be free from religion.

And if you would like to meet some other neighbors and friends of yours or fellow country persons of yours who don't believe in a God or a deity, come to our convention in October.

It's October 12th and 13th this year in Madison, Wisconsin at the Concourse Hotel.

And some of us will be wearing our out-of-the-closet atheists and happy heathen hats

and whatever types of shirts and hats you want to wear.

Our speakers for this year's conference include Christopher Hitchens, also the The Nation columnist,
