We’re talking about the presidential race and how religion plays a role in it. We discuss our primary votes (hint: you can probably guess who we didn’t vote for), which Republican candidate would be the worst case scenario for atheists, and the openly atheist candidates running for state and federal office.

We’re celebrating our 100th episode with the conversation we never get to have because we’re always talking to other people.

Our goals for the near future are having more in-person interviews, talking to big-name guests, and making sure we’re always asking the questions you want answered.

Thank you for sticking with us and we hope you continue listening!

Anthony Magnabosco is best known as a Street Epistemologist. He’s like a preacher you might run across on your college campus, except he’s not trying to convert you. He just wants to ask you questions about religion and get you to think. He posts videos of these interactions on YouTube and they’re fascinating to watch, in part because he deconstructs what went right and wrong each time.

We spoke with Anthony about his surprising goals when it comes to chatting with people about religion, why people would ever talk to him at all, and whether debates about God are ever useful.

Phil Torres is a philosopher and author who writes extensively about the intersection of religion and technology. He’s a regular contributor at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies. His latest book is called The End: What Science and Religion Tell Us About the Apocalypse.

We spoke with him about why super-intelligence could come back to haunt us, how religious thinking mixed with weapons could bring us closer to doom, and whether we can reason with those who want to get closer to the afterlife.
