Evan Clark is the founder and creative director of Spectrum Experience, the nation’s first private Humanist consulting firm that has also been behind the campaigns of several atheists running for local, state, and federal office. His candidates just had a wildly successful primary day in Arizona this past week. Evan is also chair of the Secular Student Alliance and co-host of the Humanist Experience podcast.

We spoke about how he began Spectrum Experience, the most strategic ways for atheists to run for office, and why coming out as non-religious matters in politics.

Notes:

Religion News Service just ran a great article on the work of Evan and his business partner Serah Blain.

Here’s information on 2014 congressional candidate James Woods and his clever response to a pro-life questionnaire.

You can read about Arizona State Rep. Jean Mendez‘s godless invocation right here.

Brad Levin is the director of FreeBYU, a group whose mission is to “promote freedom of thought and freedom of religion at Brigham Young University.”

We spoke about how BYU punishes students who become ex-Mormons, why BYU’s law school nearly lost its accreditation, and the progress his group has made in changing the Honor Code at the school.

Rob McWilliams is the founder of South East Texas Atheists Helping the Homeless. (The name is fairly self-explanatory.)

We spoke with him about how his group is different from churches, how listeners can help his cause by buying products on Amazon, and the most amazing love story ever.

Ray Comfort is the founder and CEO of Living Waters. He’s written dozens of books, co-hosted “The Way of the Master” with Kirk Cameron, and produced several movies including Audacity and Evolution vs. God. He recently released Fat Chance (subtitle: Why Pigs Will Fly Before America has an Atheist President) and the movie The Atheist Delusion.

Rather than have a debate about God’s existence, Ray and I spoke about whether Christians must accept a literal interpretation of Genesis, what he thinks will happen if atheists are elected to political office, and what might change his mind about Christianity.

Also: Crocoducks.

Notes:

If you have no idea what the Crocoduck is, here’s your introduction.

My review of The Atheist Delusion was not kind.

Here’s my assessment of the Reason Rally.
