What are the perspectives, the opinions, the facepalm moments and the success stories of today's atheist young people? This show is all about teenagers. Some come from religious homes. Some come from secular cultures. All are welcome to weigh in and talk about why they don't believe in any deities, what the consequences are, and how they're dealing with it all. Your calls and emails. (email to editor@thethinkingatheist.com) (Time Zone Converter at http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc)
Churches, religious institutions and organizations have implemented sophisticated, often costly advertising campaigns and tactics to bring non-believers into the fold. This is especially true regarding the targeting of young people, as churches host concerts, pizza parties, movie nights, door prizes and a host of other gimmicks. How is religion attempting to win converts by sheer marketing, and why should the public be skeptical? Your calls and emails.

In many cultures, the influence of faith permeates many businesses and organizations that are not officially religious. What happens when a secular employee is accountable to a religious boss? How is the atheist treated by religious co-workers? Do secular workers fear personal and career consequences for being as vocal about their non-belief as the religious are about their faith? We explore these questions and more. Your calls and emails. (Email to editor@thethinkingatheist.com) (Time Zone Converter at http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc)
This topic isn't overtly related to the subjects of atheism and religion, but it comes up often enough to warrant some attention. The religious often homeshool children to focus their studies and to protect them from harmful "secular" influences. We explore the issue. And we'll talk about secular parents homeschooling their children. Why they do it. What the benefits/detriments are? Plus your calls and emails.

Theists charge that goodness and morality are the domain of the believer. They assert that, without their deity, it's impossible to be "good" or to commit moral acts. In this episode, we talk about goodness in the religious and secular context, we explore our recent charity efforts and we share stories of moral acts done for their own sake.
Join us for a fascinating hour with apologist Sye ten Bruggencate, host of the website http://www.proofthatgodexists.org DPR Jones, Seth Andrews and Sye talk about absolute truth, the accuracy of scripture, morality and "proof" of God in a spirited yet civil conversation.
