319 - Chaos and Hope

American Freethought Podcast

Rioters overrun the US Capitol for four hours, disrupting the formal tally of electoral votes by a joint session of Congress. Trump and his surrogates (and a long line of conservative leaders) bear direct responsibility for inciting this violence and feeding dangerous misinformation to their followers.

A Pew Research study shows that the new Congress is far more religious (and far more Christian) than the US population at large.

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) causes a minor controversy with his multicultural, multi-gendered invocation.

Congress has a female chaplain for the first time in history.

I decline to interview a flat-earther.
