The original U.S. Pledge of Allegiance calls the USA, "one nation...indivisible."  Yet it remains a nation splintered and divided, with many of those divisions fueled by religious ideas.  This broadcast welcomes several special guests to talk about America, the rise of secularism, the influence of the Religious Right, and the future of a country that seems unable to agree about anything.

Our guests appearing throughout the broadcast:
Amanda Knief: National Legal and Public Policy Director for American Atheists, and author of "The Citizen Lobbyist: A How-to Manual for Making Your Voice Heard in Government."
Matthew De Dora: Director of Office of Public Policy for the Center For Inquiry
Matthew Bulger: American Humanist Association
Justin Scott: Director of Eastern Iowa Atheists
Rebecca Markert: Managing Staff Attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation
Larry Decker: Executive Director for the Secular Coalition for America
Herb Silverman: President of the Secular Coalition for America
Sarah Levin:  Senior Legislative Representative for the Secular Coalition for America
