While the world is focused on Benghazi, Libya and the religiously-motivated murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens, the Ask an Atheist gang zooms out and discovers that blasphemy as a tool of statecraft is not limited to Arab Spring nations.

This week, we talk with Bigfoot with local skeptical researcher Matt Crowley.    Also, we get into the whole Libyan troll fiasco, and the role of God at the recent political conventions.   To talk about that, we catch up with Richard Dawkins Foundation Director of Strategy & Policy Sean Faircloth.

This week, Ask an Atheist takes you to the inaugural year of Camp Quest Northwest, on Samish Island. Sam talks to counselors and campers about this unique experience.

This week we interview Nikki Stern, the author of Because I Say So: the Dangerous Appeal of Moral Authority and Hope in Small Doses.

This week also has A Moment of Science with Dan, who talks about the evolution of morality.

Two weeks ago kind of sucked, so we did an episode called Bad News.   Then, things changed.   Join Sam, Becky and Mike as they reconvene their earlier conversation with some positive results and good news. Here is the Friendly Atheist blog post talking about the Northern Ghana witch camp study.
