Freethought Radio will discuss new billboards in Indianapolis, bus\\nsigns in San Francisco, and the furor Foundation complaints over\\ngovernment prayer is creating in Tehachapi, Calif. (a TV news clip will\\nplay on the controversy there). A teaser trailer for the new film,\\nCreation, concentrating on Darwin\'s loss of faith and starring major\\nactors, will play, with discussion about how the film so far has been\\nrejected by film distributions in the United States, while it is being\\npraised worldwide. The guest, Gregory S. Paul, a researcher, will talk\\nabout the correlation between lack of social safety nets (such as the\\ntimely topic of America\'s lack of health care for all) and religiosity.\\nHe will advance the notion that no "culture wars" were necessary in\\nEurope in order for belief in religion to fade; "pie in the sky" is not\\nnecessary when needs are taken care of here on earth.
