Ordinarily, we're not the type of show to wade into the Atheist Internet Wars, but we felt it was important to interrupt our Christian Nationalism series to offer a modicum of support to Thomas Smith who has worked his ass off to be as affirming and supportive of "the left" as possible. He was recently attacked (unjustly so, in our humble opinions), so this episode is dedicated to shoring up support for the good works he has done.

Anti-masker, anti-lockdown, anti-vax, anti-choice, anti-intellectualism, anti-government (for chrissake!) right-wing lunatic Ammon Bundy recently announced his candidacy for Governor of Idaho. But before he was a wannabe politician, Bundy was a wannabe hero who thought it would be a good idea to engage federal officials in not one, but two armed standoffs. He should have been locked up for each of these offenses, but… well, you'll just have to listen to this episode to find out why this dangerou...

The Founding Fathers are the subject of this second installment in our multi-episode coverage of Christian Nationalism. Heroic embellishments, tall tales, and outright lies have been promulgated about America's Founding Fathers since our country's inception. Plenty of "scholars" have created or repeated complete fabrications regarding the beliefs and religious practices of the framers of our constitution as part of a broader effort to promote the false notion that America is a Christian nation. ...

This is the first installment of a multi-episode series talking about the scourge that is Christian Nationalism. We start off by addressing some of the inaccurate history lessons we were taught in grade school. Suffice it to say in these notes that the story of America's Pilgrims isn't really all about Thanksgiving and getting along with the indigenous peoples of this land. Also, Dan wants everybody to know that he skipped a family pool party to stay home and edit the show for you , dear listene...

With 333 episodes under our belt, we're halfway to being fully evil. 😈 We've said it many times over the years: everybody is weird about death, we're all just weird about it in our way. Tracey's maternal grandmother recently died, and everything surrounding her death and funeral drove home the fact that religion is not a uniting force; it is fundamentally divisive and corrosive to all types of relationships.

Liz Cheney has been removed from her congressional leadership post as the latest mile marker along the road of the Republican party's journey into authoritarian fascism. While discussing this latest bout of fuckery, one question kept getting repeated: has the Republican party ever really been for anything that would improve the lives of their fellow Americans? There are plenty of things we know the Republican party stands against , but what are they actually working toward ? They no longer even ...

Eesh. We apologize for the delay in getting this episode out. Work has been killing Dan the last two weeks. Episode 331 is in the can & should be available within the next few days. We cover Biden's State of the Union speech in this episode and, yes, we know that's not technically what it was called. Overall, it was a great speech full of incredibly progressive plans on how to unfuck ourselves and pave the way for a brighter future for generations to come. And then there's Tim Scott. Jesus T...

Holy shit! After more than an entire year, we were able to gather together in-studio to record this episode. The last time we recorded in-studio was February of 2020. It initially felt weird to be in the same room as other human beings without any social-distancing and without wearing a mask, but we warmed up to the situation pretty quickly before talking about a everything from Christian Nationalism to how much we hate Arkansas (but not really, Arkansans! ❤). We chatted so much and for so long ...

Who wouldn't want to use a Confederacy monument as a toilet? Or, better still, use it as a toilet and then offer to return it for a $500,000 ransom? Jordan Peterson has been whining about a comic series written by Ta-Nehisi Coates wherein ideas that are eerily similar to Peterson's are being promulgated by the infamous villain, Red Skull. We have no doubt that Peterson will be donning a cape and clown shoes very soon after he adopts his new villainous persona, Numb Skull. Also, LDS Church Presid...

By now, everybody and their dog has heard the phrase "cancel culture."

The Catholic church has weighed in to let us know you shouldn't use the Covid-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson unless you don't have access to any of the alternatives.

We welcome a new member with a familiar voice to the Godless Rebelution and take a look at the Satanic Panic of the 1970s & 1980s.

The world of QAnon is in disarray following the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States of America. The conspiracy theorists were hoping to see Donald Trump declare martial law, arrest every Democrat in sight, and then publicly execute them on the grounds of the Capitol complex. Instead, they saw Trump say that he loves them, he hopes they have a good life, and that he'll be back "in some form." We weren't aware that piles of shit were self-organizing. Speaking of se...

In the wake of Trump's freedom LARPers storming the Capitol complex, there have been a slew of interviews with some of the people who found themselves the target of the ire of every "Blue Lives Matter" knuckle-dragging cousin-humper vying for a chance to become Trump's most cherished knob polisher. The most interesting interview we've heard is that of D.C. Police Officer Mike Fanone, during which he recounts what it was like to face down the angry mob of credulous cretins, and the moment he thou...

It took President Donald J. Trump less than one week into the new year to commit an act so egregious that members of his own party have (at long last) started to turn against him. The President of the United States of America incited his credulous horde of gullible numbskulls to launch an attack against democracy by rioting, looting, and vandalizing buildings at the Capitol complex in Washington, D.C on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. At least five people died as a result of the President's actions,...

2020 is thankfully and finally coming to an end. Now we can look forward to the end of the Trump presidency next month, and to collectively rolling up our sleeves to fix a lot of the damage Trump and his criminal cabal have wrought over the last four years. It seems more like four decades, which is probably how long it will take to unfuck everything that has been broken by the most corrupt administration in our nation's history.

Won't somebody please think of the Christians!? They're having a really hard time coming to grips with reality. Yeah, yeah, yeah… we know they didn't have a fantastic grasp of it before Trump corrupted their minds (and everything else he could get his tiny mitts on), but a whole lot of them have gone completely mental over the fact that Joe Biden won the election. How do they reconcile their belief in an all-powerful protector sky wizard when his promises are so easily broken? Patreon subscriber...
