The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.45 airing Sunday, 11-6-2022 featuring Kelley Laughlin, Blatant Blatheist , Scott Dickie and Phoebe Rose

Blathering Blatherskite! Behold Blatant Blatheists broadcasts bodaciously! Who writes these things?! Watch them all on this Sunday’s Non-Prophets now premiering an hour later! Because of Daylight Savings ending. Still 3:00 PM Central. Let’s get into the segments!

Whew this is an article packed episode. Don't even have enough room for the "amazing write up!" That's ok you can find the full write up at tiny.cc/fbnp. So short descriptions will have to do it for YouTube. Hey YouTube! Can I have 6000 or 7000 characters please?!

First we talk about how it is so hard to get elected as an atheist. On that same line we explore how secular ideas are gaining ground in the political space. Maybe our second segment will destroy the first! Next, Former Vice President Mike Pence is striking a chord with Christian Nationalists by saying we do not have freedom FROM religion. FFRF might have something to say about that. Lastly, UK has a new Prime Minister and he's Hindu. Wonder how that is going to work for a theocracy where the people are mostly secular?

That will do it for this week’s Non-Prophets. Remember if you are in the United States that we have a very important midterm election. While we cannot tell you who to vote for, it is important to vote. You might think your voice doesn’t count, but I promise you it won’t count if you don’t speak in the only language politicians know! VOTE!
