Co-host Dan Barker will talk about recently experiencing the
bizarre creationism museum in Kentucky. Brad Pitt's nonreligion and
new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayer's request for "divine
guidance" will get some play. Interviewed will be linguist and
Daniel Everett, author of Don't Sleep, There are Snakes: Life and
Language in the Amazonian Jungle (2008). In an amazing adventure,
Everett--a missionary to the Pirahas dedicated to learning their
language in order to proselytize them--left the Amazon free of
religion.
