Ask an Atheist with Sam Mulvey

This week, Josh and Wes join Sam to talk about things that are not okay in various types: The violence in Charlottesville, a war-mongering president, and Sam himself.

Becky examines how atheists approach the death of animal companions with the help of Nathan and Kristi, but first we chuckle at offensive art and license plates.

Becky, Bridget, and Wes do math for Creationists and some Republicans.  We also highlight some of Trump’s atrocious comments to the Boy Scouts of America, ponder pudding, and celebrate health boards who do the right thing to protect women’s health.

Sam speaks with guest Faye who recounts the moment that percipitated her departure from high school Mormon seminary class, Dan explains slime eels, Becky verifies that there are ways to be an atheist apart from Humanist, and Colby asks about the Scopes Monkey Trial and offers her perspective on art.

Becky and Dan welcome Karen Garst, the Faithless Feminist.  We also consider the ethics of using religious freedom to protect the environment.  Newcomer Colby joins us in the 3rd segment to decry Hobby Lobby and celebrate a Washington State LGBT victory.
