A federal court rules that a bigot has a right to impose their anti-LGBTQ bigotry on orphans. Andrew breaks down the case, Bates v. Paakseresht, with Sam Grover, a constitutional attorney at the Freedom From Religion Foundation. The majority in this case essentially ignored the rights of children and focused solely on the rights of this Christian bigot, represented by ADF. Plus, a rapid fire round up of everything else that’s happening. 

Case discussed, Bates v. Paakseresht, (9th Cir., July 24, 2025). Link to the opinion.

The floodgates are open. Donald Trump openly mocks atheists. Trump’s IRS looks to create super-PACS in mega-churches by illegally repealing the Johnson Amendment. The Supreme Court greenlights gutting public education. And Trump’s worst judicial nominee yet? Andrew covers all that and more.

The Christian Nationalist legal outfits are bringing faith and football back to the Supreme Court. First Liberty Institute is asking the court to overturn a crucial church-state precedent, Santa Fe v. Doe, a 2000 opinion that prevented public schools from broadcasting Christian prayers at football games, thereby safeguarding the religious freedom and rights of every single person. The same Christian Nationalist group that brought the case of the football coach that imposed his Christian prayers on other people’s kids is back at the court. Will the court take the case? And can Brett Kavanaugh even hear this case? Or does his history show a serious bias? 

Also, Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission wants to hear from you! “Share your reflections on the first hearing and religious liberty on social media, using our hashtag #ReligiousLibertyCommission. You are welcome to provide public comment to the Commission by emailing us at [email protected]. So if you watched that first meeting, consider sending some feedback.”

Pulitzer Prize winning author, lawyer, and historian Edward J. Larson joins the pod to talk about the legacy of the Scopes trial as it turns 100 this week. Larson’s book, Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion, is a fascinating dive into this subject. At the height of the Roaring 20s, science and religion clashed in Dayton, Tennessee. Two rhetorical titans, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, dueled in the trial of the century. Take a deep dive with Andrew before all the other retrospectives air.

Andrew covers the avalanche of Supreme Court opinions at the end of the term including the case about religious parents objecting to LGBTQ books in kids’ classrooms (Mahmoud v. Taylor); the shadow docket decision allowing Trump to deport people to countries they have no connection to (DHS v DVD); the latest case involving Planned Parenthood (Medina v. Planned Parenthood); and the case about birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions (Trump v. CASA). Spoiler alert: the 6-3 conservative supermajority is attempting to crown a king.

Christian Nationalists and MAGA love to claim the Fourth of July as their own. They think the history shows that we’re a Christian Nation. The Supreme Court has even agreed, all because of a prayer at the Continental Congress back in 1774. It’s story time. Because that prayer, which has huge legal implications today, is only the beginning of the tale. Today we’re going to learn about the traitor who gave America prayer. 

Plus, an interview with American Atheists president Nick Fish about the shocking, yet sound decision to move a major international conference out of the United States.

Andrew interviews Minnesota Senator John Marty about the assassination of Speaker and state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and the attempted assassination of Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife Yvette. But first, Andrew and Sen. Marty discuss all the amazing work the MN Secular Government Caucus is doing in that state. To wrap up, Andrew looks at the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care, Trump’s grift with his Lee Greenwood Bible, and the handcuffing of Senator Padilla and ICE arresting NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander.

Andrew tackles Trump’s new Religious Liberty Commission, which had its first meeting at the Museum of the Bible and which focused heavily on the myths of Christian Nationalism, especially what the founders meant when they wrote of “religion and morality.” The assault on history continues with an under-the-radar story from NPR about letting the MAGA mob policy the history at America’s parks and historic sites. Finally, Andrew wraps up with a look at the SBC’s resolutions on marriage equality and Obergefell v. Hodges and delves into the question from episode 5: Could this Supreme Court overturn marriage equality?
