While on tour promoting his new book "The Magic of Reality" Richard
Dawkins found himself banned from a book signing at a Detroit area
country club after the owner learned that Dawkins was an atheist.
Dawkins called the last-minute cancelation of the event an act of
"sheer bigotry" but some insist that a privately owned business has
the right to refuse service to atheists. Jennifer Beahan, the
assistant director for the Center For Inquiry Michigan, joins us on
the show to explain how the law does not allow discrimination
against the non-religious and why CFIMI will be filing a lawsuit
against the club. Meanwhile the American Cancer Society has also
banned the atheist charity Foundation Beyond Belief from joining
their "Relay for Life" even though the foundation was planning to
raise over half a million dollars for the event. Also on this
episode: Richard Dawkins explains why he will not debate apologist
William Lane Craig; The connection between intuitive thinking
styles and religious belief is explored on this weeks "God Thinks
Like You" segment and we examine the "Outsider Test for Faith"
proposed by John Loftus in The Christian Delusion.
