Summary

FFRF stopped an Ohio high school from singing "The Lord's Prayer" during graduation. Port Neches, Texas, divests itself of a Christian cross in their city park. FFRF bus signs and bike kiosk displays promoting secular values and atheist voters go up in Washington DC, with resultant controversy. Full-page ad about FFRF's House Chaplain lawsuit will be published in DC during the Reason Rally. After hearing "No Gods, No Masters," celebrating the life of Margaret Sanger, we talk with physicist Sean M Carroll, whose newest book is The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself.
