Summary
We report state/church victories stopping a Virginia city from sponsoring a trip to the 'Ark Park' and ending a Connecticut city's censorship of FFRF's freethought views. We endorse the Congressional "Freedom of Religion Act of 2017" that recognizes nonbelievers, and we report a new study showing how school vouchers are helping Catholic Churches to remain in business. After hearing Kristin Lems' song "Days of the Theocracy," we talk with author, journalist, slate.com columnist and MSNBC commentator Michelle Goldberg about how President Trump has become the religious right's Trojan Horse.
