Ep 158 | The Most Hated Woman in America: The Story of Madalyn Murray O'Hair

from TIMpactful Topics with Tim Messer · host Tim Messer

On the day after National Day of Prayer, I talk about the woman who was responsible for the fact that we don't have prayer in public schools. I take a look at Madalyn Murray O'Hair, America's original anti-prayer warrior, whose landmark Supreme Court case in 1963 essentially banned school-sponsored bible reading and prayer. She founded American Atheists. Join me as I discuss her own son's salvation, and the strange and sad ending to her life.
