There Is No God And We're All Gonna Die

EP 4: I Went to an Atheist Convention… and Found Jesus (Sort Of)

Listen Later

I attend my first atheist convention and meet some surprising allies — former Christian Nationalists (including Star Spangled Jesus author April LaJoy) who’ve embraced progressive values and now stand as firmly against Trump as I do. Speaking of which, I dig into Trump’s disturbing new memo allowing federal employees to promote their religion at work — even to subordinates. Plus: listener voicemails, dream duet fantasies, my wild past serving food to celebrities, and a swoon-worthy moment with Robert Downey Jr.
