Summary

We talk about science, Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, Betsy Devos for Education Secretary, Trump's so-called "Religious Freedom Act," the bigotry of the Boy Scouts of America, and about how FFRF is fighting back to preserve secular values. After celebrating the birthday of nonbelieving songwriter Burton Lane, we hear Roy Zimmerman's irreverent song "Religious Freedom." Then we speak with scholar John R. Shook, co-editor of the new Oxford Handbook of Secularism, about the rise of nonbelief around the world.
