I'm An Atheist, But I'm Not "Out" Nov 13, 2013

Show notes

Surveys from Pew and other organizations show non-belief as the fastest growing "religious group" (for lack of a better term) in the United States.
Some are simply unconcerned about religious. But many are self-professed atheists.
However, many of these atheists have only professed their non-belief to a select few, and some haven't told anyone at all.
This show deals with atheists who aren't "out." What are the reasons for remaining silent? What are the consequences of going public? And how is the culture shifting to perhaps make it easier for the non-theist to step out of the shadows.

Show notes

Is there a method or manual for creating atheists? Is that even a proper way to phrase our goal(s) as proponents of science and reason? What is the Faith Virus?
In this show, we speak with Dr. Peter Boghossian, Instructor of Philosophy at Portland State University and author of the book, "A Manual For Creating Atheists,"

Rational People, Irrational Fears Oct 29, 2013

Show notes

We are skeptics. We are proponents of science. But we are also human, susceptible to the odd phobia and irrational fear.
Perhaps it's a shadow in the corner of the bedroom. Spiders, snakes or other slithery creatures. Certain sounds, people or places.
In this Halloween-themed show, we explore some of the interesting irrational fears and phobias that plague us.
