Religion, in addition to lending credence to authoritarianism and social control, trades in ideas. There have been some good ideas to come from religion but then, in fairness, we really need to talk about the bad ideas. And religion has generated some very bad ideas. Valerie Tarico, PhD. is a pyschologist and she was at one time an evangelical Christian. She has examined twelve of the ideas that originated in religion that have created mayhem, death and destruction as well as unnecessary emotional pain. Mike Haubrich will be hosting as well as interviewing Dr. Tarico on today's show.
