Irreligiosophy means “the wisdom of irreligion” — it is about questioning dogmas handed down uncritically to us and researching into the history, practice, and theology of various religions. It’s about scrutinizing religious claims with a skeptical eye and placing them in historical perspective. But ultimately, Irreligiosophy 2.0 is really about arming atheists to wage the culture war with arguments and reason. We focus on Christianity because that is the religion that we are most confronted by in our daily lives, but we see all religion and all irrationality as threats to the continued advancement of knowledge, progress, and social justice.

In this episode we talk to science communicator Cara Santa Maria of Talk Nerdy and SGU fame, among nearly a million other things that I'm not going to go into because the list is constantly changing. Join us for a roller coaster ride that touches on nearly everything under the sun, from Cara's Mormon upbringing to science and feminism to politics to Bill Maher to streets in California.
