Is there a direct correlaton between atheism and liberalism?  Why do so many atheists lean towards the left of the poltical spectrum?  Many of our past shows have focused on the Conservative Christian influence over American politics, but does that necessarily mean that one needs to oppose their views in all areas? Politics, philosophy and atheism are the topic for today's show.  Our guest is Massimo Pigliucci, who contacted us following our interview with Sunsara Taylor, because he wanted to address a few of the points she had made in regards to socialism and atheism.  As a philosopher and an evolutionary biologist, Massimo regularly addresses the intersections of politics and religion.  George Kane will lead the discussion.

 

"Atheists Talk" is produced by The Minnesota Atheists. Mike Haubrich, Director and Stephanie Zvan , Host.
