FilthyMonkeyBrains11-Atheist World-FFRF Update-Rant with Regina and Monica-Superdebate: John, Monica, Beneil, Sam.

This week: we give a final reminder about the picnic for
non-believers on July 16th, we talk about Uri Geller, we discuss
motives behind recent LGBTQA+ rights attacks, and we cover a
petition from American Atheists’ to protect the free speech
rights of non-believers. The FFRF update includes the impeached
ex-President’s remarks about atheists. After a rant about a
pastor's curious position on marital sex without consent, you can
listen to a special conversation among four of our Filthy Monkey
Brains. Don’t miss their humorous discussion on a cringeworthy
Supreme Court decision about religious exemptions at work, the
implications of the Defense Bill Amendment, and a misguided
request about CRT.

Monica also would like to recommend the following books about
Black History:


The Warmth of Other Suns -The Epic Story of America's
Great Migration, by Isabel Wilkerson.


The Color of Law - A Forgotten History of How Our
Government Segregated America, by Richard
Rothstein. 


And the following book wasn’t referenced by name but it’s
interesting to understand Rosa Parks' work as a field officer for
the NAACP before the Civil Rights movement went national:


At the Dark End of the Street (Black Women, Hope &
Resistance - A New History of the Civil Rights Movement - From
Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power), by Danielle L.
McGuire
