Every once in a while, someone will point to the fact that a large number of states in the U.S. still have laws on the books to prevent atheists from holding political office. Then someone else will inevitably point out that these laws have been found to be unconstitutional, so we don't need to worry about them.
This Sunday's guest today may have a different opinion. When Cecil Bothwell was elected to the Asheville, NC city council, he faced a challenge based in North Carolina's religious test. Today he joins us to talk about that, about how North Carolina's current political situation is influenced by theists, and about his new novel, She Walks on Water.
