New Atheism, Old Virgins

2000s nostalgia is en vogue at the moment, so we decided to take a trip back in time to the golden era of the internet, and the time of 'New Atheism'. We talk Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens, and discuss how edgy attacks on religion swerved so seamlessly into right-wing populism and "defending Christian society". We then turn our attention to religion in Ireland, before spilling the proverbial on Mother Teresa and highlighting leftist currents of Catholicism in Latin America. Promise this episode is a lot more fun than the topic might suggest! Thank you again to all of our devoted followers who donated to the GoFundMe. This ep was recorded in person with brand new state-of-the-art equipment, so mucho thanks to ye xx"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” - Revelation 21:8. Support the show
