Emmy and Natalia try to process the news from this week, as violence and terror in Israel and Palestine are front and center for most of us. We decided to share a conversation our dear friend and colleague and friend of the pod Meta Herrick Carlson had earlier this year with a woman we met and became friends with - Hiyam Tabash. We hope you'll listen, and we hope you'll do some learning through trusted sources and experts instead of algorithms - so we included a list of resources we trust below.

Shermer and Tabash discuss: the history of the relationship between church and state • the founding framers of the U.S. Constitution and their arguments for separating church and state • Madison and Jefferson • how most of the 13 colonies had government-sanctioned religions and religious tests for office • the Constitutional Convention and the First Amendment • the push by some Republicans to hold a new Constitutional Convention and redesign the entire U.S. Constitution • the religious beliefs and attitudes of the current SCOTUS. Eddie Tabash is a constitutional lawyer in Los Angeles. He graduated magna cum laude from UCLA in 1973. He graduated from Loyola Law School of Los Angeles in 1976. He is known for his expertise in demonstrating how the religion clauses of the First Amendment require the separation of church and state, which includes equality before the law for nonbelievers. He is an atheist who endeavors to secure a society in which no branch of government can treat people differently because of either accepting or rejecting any tenet of religious belief.

In the Arena: The Debates and Lectures of William Lane Craig
Dr. Craig debated atheist attorney Eddie Tabash at Pepperdine University, February 8, 1999 on Secular Humanism vs. Christianity.
Mr. Tabash is the CHAIR THE NATIONAL LEGAL COMMITTEE OF AMERICANS UNITED FOR SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. He is also currently chair the First Amendment Task Force for the Council for Secular Humanism. He is a lawyer in the Los Angeles area. He states: "My father was an orthodox rabbi from Lithuania. My mother was in Auschwitz survivor from Hungary. After a lifetime of spiritual searching, I have concluded that the best evidence we have, to date, strongly points to a naturalistic universe in which there are no supernatural beings and no God or gods." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/free2think/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/free2think/support

He details ways that pseudoscience and junk science are used to advance religiously derived public policy arguments against gay marriage and abortion. And he talks about global warming skepticism, and the need for scientific integrity in public policy. He emphasizes how the next U.S. President will reshape the Supreme Court, and what that portends for science and secular values. He also explains his role in gay rights victory with the Supreme Court of California earlier in 2008, and why he opposes Proposition 8, a proposed ballot measure in California that would amend the State Constitution to deny marriage rights to homosexuals.

Join us for a discussion with Eddie Tabash current chair of the national legal committee of Americans United for separation of Church and State as well as the Council for Secular Humanism's First Amendment Task Force. In addition to his better known role as an official campaign speaker and debater for numerous presidential candidates (including Bill Clinton & Jimmy Carter) Tabash is also a professional counter-apologist having debated such world famous Christian philosophers as: Peter van Inwagen, Greg Bahnsen, William Lane Craig and Richard Swinburne on the existence of God. In an extended interview, Tabash discusses a wide-range of topics: from disarming the arguments of Christian philosophers to the "unholy alliance" between the religious right and the postmodern academic left. The show concludes with a disturbing glimpse at the difference just one Supreme Court justice could make for American secularists...and the very real possibility that we may be on the verge of a theocratic America.
