Church & State – Encroaching Theocracy

Faith Based Initiatives – Little to no money directly given to those organizations that are not Christian.

Guest : Reverend Paul Chapman talks with hosts about how Christian faith-based organizations are receiving most of the allocated federal funds.

Law and Disorder hosts talk with Lenny Brenner about a book he recently edited, Jefferson and Madison On Separation of Church and State: Writings On Religion and Secularism published by Barricade Books and Susan Jacoby also joins us.  Jacoby is the author of Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism.  Freethinkers illuminates the neglected accomplishments of secularists who have stood at the forefront of the battle for every kind of reform from the framing of a Constitution based on human rights rather than divine authority to the feminist and civil liberties movements of the 20th century.
