Following the death of the Westboro Baptist Church's Fred Phelps, Josh Zepps discusses the state of religious fundamentalism with Frank\xa0Schaeffer, the\xa0New York Times\xa0bestselling author of\xa0Crazy for God: How I grew up as one of the Elect,\xa0Sex, Mom, and God: How the Bible's Strange Take on Sex Led to Crazy Politics-- and How I learned to love Women (and Jesus) Anyway, among many\xa0others.\xa0

Having recovered from being raised in a fundamentalist Christian family, and having written multiple novels about growing up in that world,\xa0Schaeffer\xa0has a\xa0fascinating\xa0perspective on what he sees as the psychological damage inflicted by angry fundamentalism, and helps us examine how we, as atheists, might respond to the death of those we despise.\xa0
