Summary

We counter Trump's promise to "totally destroy" the Johnson Amendment that prohibits churches from politicking. We offer some comic relief by hearing Mississipians complain about FFRF's victory removing a Christian flag from a city memorial. Ricky Gervais defends atheism on The Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert. After hearing the wonderful "CBS This Morning" story about FFRF's lawsuit over bible classes in public schools, we talk with FFRF attorney Patrick Elliott about that case. Then we celebrate the birthdays of Darwin and Galileo and honor Valentine's Day by hearing Susan Hofer sing Dan Barker's love song "It's Only Natural."
