In our latest podcast, Jessica and I discussed the past week in politics and atheism.

We talked about:

— A Kentucky school district found a great way to get around the state’s “In God We Trust” law, and it’s already angering state officials. (1:52)

— A candidate for Colorado House says women shouldn’t wear pants. (9:40)

— GOP Rep. Steve King says humanity exists only because of rape and incest. (17:44)

— A Christian pastor, formerly an extremist, is urging Trump to tone down the violent rhetoric. (23:00)

— A FL teacher was suspended after posting a message about how racism was over and Pledge protests were immature. (25:33)

— Never debate Christian pseudo-historian David Barton. His rules are weird. (30:25)

— An Oregon man won’t pay taxes because he’s a Christian who opposes abortion. So there. (35:58)
