Thoughts & Prayers' — Not!

Freethought Radio takes a trenchant look at recent insensitive religious absurdities by Rev. Pat Robertson, Bishop Robert Morlino, President Trump and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. We play Roy Zimmerman's satiric "To the Victims of This Tragedy" as commentary on "thoughts and prayers" substituting for action. FFRF Patrick O'Reiley Legal Fellow Chris Line joins us to talk about the hysterical hullabaloo over his recent victory ending football prayer at a Georgia high school. Investigative reporter Katherine Stewart, author of The Good News Club, returns to talk about her new piece about another threat to secular public education, "The Proselytizers and the Privatizers," appearing in this month's American Prospect.
