November 18, 2018 Richard D. Logan joins us today to discuss how we can continue to build and grow a secular society.  While this is something Minnesota Atheists has been extremely successful with already, we felt it would be beneficial to get the points of view from others in the secular community who don't identify as atheists. Richard is a retired Professor of Human Development.  He has a BA in Anthropology from Harvard College and a PhD in Human Development from the University of Chicago.  He has published on adolescent identity, American individualism, the emergence of the self through Western history, and the state of higher education.  He also authored a book on the psychology of solitary ordeals, and another on the true survival story of a young girl lost at sea.  He also chaired the Faculty Executive Committee. Since retiring he has served on several non-profit boards. LINKS: Society for Humanistic Judiasm: SHJ.org Jews for a Secular Democracy: http://jfasd.org/ If you enjoyed this show, we'd love to

October 21, 2018 What is an atheist issue? American Atheists redefines what is an atheists issue. We will challenge the status quo. In doing so we will lay out a plan to fight for equality and the true separation of religion and government. If you are not happy with the way things are then the time is now to make a change.  Jim G. Helton is the National Field Organizer for American Atheists.

Under his leadership, Tri-State Freethinkers adopted the highway in front of the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter and led a protest that received international attention. He played a key role in eliminating Gideon’s bible distributions in public schools and removing abstinence-only sex education. Mr. Helton’s activism at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter landed him appearances in the 2017 documentary film Bill Nye: Science Guy and the forthcoming documentary We Believe in Dinos

September 23, 2018 Seth Andrews of The Thinking Atheist podcast joins us in studio.  From The Thinking Atheist about page:  "The Thinking Atheist is a website, radio podcast and online community which rejects faith as a suitable tool for living. Far too often, faith (believing something without evidence) is celebrated, reason is distrusted, and people are encouraged not to ask questions, test the waters, demand evidence or think outside the religious box. The Thinking Atheist icon is a symbol that reminds atheist and believer alike to engage the brain, to challenge even the most sacred of traditions/beliefs, to be passionately curious about our world and universe, and to never be satisfied with the charge, "You just have to take it on faith." Enjoy our videos. Listen to the weekly radio podcasts. Connect with others through our forum and social media pages. And benefit from this wonderful and diverse community of freethinkers. Assume nothing. Question everything. And start thinking." LINKS The Thinking Atheis

Sunday September 2, 2018 This week's episode is a special one for me (Maddy) as I've been a fan of the Living After Faith podcast for almost a decade.  While I've chatted with both Rich and Deanna in closed facebook groups for podcasters, and on public posts, this was the first time I've been able to sit down and chat with two amazing people, who are also atheists.
