— Another Christian rock star is leaving evangelicalism. (12:43)



— A priest wants to know if we’re “good” atheists. What does that even mean? (20:42)



— A social justice activist said he was related to Robert E. Lee. That’s not true. Now what? (36:40)

— SPONSOR: BlueChew.com! (45:49)



— A furniture seller hides tiny crosses in pieces to bless everyone’s homes. Is this harmless or a problem? (46:49)



— If Southern Baptists are praising your work, you’ve done something horribly wrong. (51:55)



— The White House met with atheist group leaders. Is that significant or merely symbolic? (1:02:35)
