The Herd Mentality

Arts & Culture

Each week I call up Twitter Atheists from around the globe to discuss issues that are pertinent to them, such as what is going on in their world, how they deal with the religious types and any current affairs we find mutually interesting. I have never met any of them before, so you will be learning with me as we go.
