After listening to the \\u201cMoment of Bedlam\\u201d at FFRF\\u2019s annual Non-prayer breakfast, we hear the Newseum Institute\\u2019s shout-out to the Freedom From Religion Foundation as a \\u201cwell-organized\\u201d and \\u201cvery effective\\u201d force fighting for the \\u201cnones\\u201d in today\\u2019s society. We play the new song, \\u201cLife After You,\\u201d then talk with the songwriter, Carter Warden, a former evangelical Church of Christ minister and founding member of The Clergy Project who came out as an atheist at FFRF\\u2019s convention in Pittsburgh this month. Carter describes why he left the ministry and how difficult it was to find employment outside the church.
