Your hosts are Ami from Texas and Amy from Minnesota, and we’re just two blueberries floating in a bowl of tomato soup. Tune in for real talk about atheism, feminism, politics, parenting, and whatever the fuck else we want to talk about because this is our show. And get ready for a whole lot of motherfuckin’ profanity. Buckle up bitches! It’s time to have some soup!" Yeah, it's some of the most delicious soup we here at Atheist Talk have ever tasted, and Ami & Amy assure us that it is far better than anything Tom and Cecil of Cognitive Dissonance have ever produced.  While we can't vouch for that last statement, we also ca

Secular humanism in the U.S. has a reputation for largely addressing the concerns of middle-class white people. That reputation is currently being challenged by groups across the country but perhaps nowhere more strongly than at the Secular Social Justice conferences. In 2016 in Houston and this year on April 7 in Washington D.C., these conferences bring activists from the margins into the spotlight. As this year's conference describes itself:   Secular Social Justice is a platform for activists of color to address the ravaging effects of systemic racism, sexism, heterosexism, transantagonism, colonialism, and white supremacy through workshops, discussions, and coalition-building.   What does that mean in practical terms? Tune in this week when we're joined by Kansas City activist and organizer Diane Burkholder. Diane is the co-chair of the American Humanist Association's LGBTQ Humanist Alliance and a speaker at both the 2016 and 2018 conferences. We'll talk about what came out of last year's conference and w

Greg and Lynette discuss the religious right's disdain for science in general, but with a particular emphasis on climate science.  Lynette was actually a caller a few months ago, and her call led to her appearance on the show to discuss this topic.

This is the entire unedited conversation with Nick Fish that we didn't have enough time to air on Sunday morning.  Nick Fish is the National Program Director for American Atheists, and I was extremely happy to have the opportunity to sit down with him at Skepticon 10 in Springfield, Missouri earlier this month. It was a great conversation with times of seriousness, times of laughter, and all the while feeling like I was chatting with an old friend.  I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.
