This week on Thank God I'm Atheist, Frank is joined by Rachel (with Dan off at Burning Man!) for a lively dive into religion's latest absurdities. Trump's bizarre new obsession with "getting to heaven" makes the headlines, Kentucky churches are stealing library books in the name of morality, Quebec wrestles with prayer bans in public spaces, and a nurse swaps her grandmother's medication for "vitamins and prayers" with tragic results.

In the second half, Frank and Rachel tackle the empty ritual of "thoughts and prayers" in the wake of yet another school shooting. Why do politicians keep offering platitudes instead of solutions? And what does it say about a country that can't figure out how to protect children?
