CJ Werleman is a well-known atheist speaker and the author of several books dealing with the intersection of religion, belief, politics and money. As a past guest of the show (he appeared in 2010 to discuss his book Jesus Lied, and again in 2011 for his book Koran Curious), Atheists Talk is pleased to welcome CJ back to speak with him about his most recently published book, Atheists Can't Be Republicans: If Facts and Evidence Matter. From Amazon:
Atheists Can't Be Republicans exposes the insane economic and social policies of today's Republican Party. Policies that have been proven abjectly false and dangerous, in much the same way religious belief is false and dangerous. Werleman contends that atheists who cling onto modern U.S. conservative ideology are hanging onto ideas that have either been proven mythical at worst or remain unproven at best. If atheists applied the same litmus test to their political ideology as they do to theology, then clearly an atheist cannot be a Republican.
We hope you can join us this Sunday for this thought-provoking topic.
