Is there a direct correlation between atheism and liberalism? Why
do so many atheists lean towards the left of the political
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.
