We talk about narratives in relation to political events and how the reaction to a business cancelling a reservation might hurt all of us then we talk about a bill introduced in the Ohio Senate that would address one aspect of human trafficking by prohibiting minors from getting married and then finally we examine the issue with ICE and their paramilitary adventures probably coming to a neighborhood near you.
We talk about the most recent attempt by the right-wing to erase trans people, Douglas looses his cool over the murder of Renee Good, and then we talk about the next big idea Christian Nationalists are using to push religion in the public schools it’s called the Success Sequence.
The video titled ‘The Consequences of Secularism’ includes Prager’s vague and misleading claims about secularism which he fails to define. He includes not only philosophical claims but also political claims that don’t hold up to closer scrutiny in order to bolster his religious beliefs.

One prime value of Humanism is we believe every idea is open to question even our own.
