Freethought Radio will discuss new billboards in Indianapolis, bus
signs in San Francisco, and the furor Foundation complaints over
government prayer is creating in Tehachapi, Calif. (a TV news clip will
play on the controversy there). A teaser trailer for the new film,
Creation, concentrating on Darwin's loss of faith and starring major
actors, will play, with discussion about how the film so far has been
rejected by film distributions in the United States, while it is being
praised worldwide. The guest, Gregory S. Paul, a researcher, will talk
about the correlation between lack of social safety nets (such as the
timely topic of America's lack of health care for all) and religiosity.
He will advance the notion that no "culture wars" were necessary in
Europe in order for belief in religion to fade; "pie in the sky" is not
necessary when needs are taken care of here on earth.
