Freedom From Religion Foundation to broadcast new, weekly talk show

[Voltaire2]

The Freedom From Religion Foundation will broadcast a weekly television show beginning today.

“Freethought Matters” will be a half-hour talk show hosted by the foundation’s co-presidents, Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor, and featuring notable “freethinking celebrities,” Gaylor said.

CBS affiliate WISC-TV Channel 3 will air the program at 11 p.m. Sundays with photojournalist Chris Johnson as the first guest. Johnson recently produced the book and film “A Better Life: 100 Atheists Speak Out on Joy & Meaning in a World Without God.”

The Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation was founded in 1978 to promote the separation of church and state and to educate others on atheism, and Gaylor said the show will work toward the same goals.

5. I wonder how much blowback this will generate from

the Christian Right. I suspect it will be pretty massive. I hope that station sticks to its guns and keeps this on the air.
