American Atheists is a national 501(c)(3) organization that defends civil rights for atheists, freethinkers, and other nonbelievers; works for the total separation of religion and government; and addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.  Follow our updates on Twitter and Facebook, and download this podcast in iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, your computer, or just by using your favorite podcast liste
