Jeff Sharlet joins us on the show to discuss his disturbing book
"The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American
Power". This elite but secretive cult, which some of its own
members describe as a "Christian Mafia,� works behind the scenes
in Washington to advance "biblical capitalism� and the
"totalitarianism of Christ.� But is the Family real or is it just
the latest delusion of conspiracy theorists? Also: did the
Protestant work ethic fuel the rise of capitalism in Europe? We
have our doubts. Plus a stranger than fiction and this week�s
Gospel of Doubt. Reasonable Doubts: Your skeptical guide to
religion offering news and commentary of interest to skeptics,
atheists, humanists, apologists looking for a challenge and
freethinkers of all persuasions.
