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

— A Mormon apostle chastised Brigham Young University for not being sufficiently anti-gay. (10:49)
— A “Catholic” anti-vaxxer said he didn’t care what Pope Francis said about the shots because “You have to be Catholic to be pope.” (20:42)
— When it comes to morality you can measure, atheists do better on just about every mark. (28:00)
— There’s been a rise in the acceptance of evolution in America. It’s still very low, though. (33:57)
