History of Godlessness from Robert G. Ingersoll to Sam Harris with Justin Clark

The conservatives complain about godlessness, reactionaries think god punishes America for its godlessness, progressives think that America is too religious. But, wherever one might be on the spectrum, they each are unhappy about how religion manifests itself in America.
