The Vatican has officially canonized Carlo Acutis (the first millennial saint) sparking headlines and debates worldwide. In this week's episode of Thank God I'm Atheist, Frank and Dan unpack how the Catholic Church fast-tracked a "patron saint of the internet" and why it matters for modern Catholicism.

Along the way, they dive into the historic first female preacher at the National Baptist Convention USA, the LDS Church's 101-year-old president Russell M. Nelson and his record-setting tenure, and the Department of Defense's controversial Bible-verse-laden videos under Pete Hegseth. They also explore why your Zodiac sign may be 2,000 years out of date and answer a listener's question about Christian-heavy choir music in an Utah public school. Finally, they close with their candid reaction to the shocking political assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah and what it signals about America's religious and political landscape.
