Jennifer Hecht, author of Doubt: A History: The Great Doubters and
Their Legacy of Innovation from Socrates and Jesus to Thomas
Jefferson and Emily Dickinson, will talk about her book tracing the
impressive history of doubt. Rebecca Kratz, FFRF staff attorney,
will join Dan and Annie Laurie for updates over FFRF legal
complaints about transportation of bibles to Iraq and Afghanistan
by the military, and local abuses over the National Day of Prayer.
FFRF is suing the President over the National Day of Prayer, which
resulted in a lot of attention to this annual abuse, and a
moderation of the relationship between government and the National
Day of Prayer Taskforce, associated with the Christian-right Focus
on the Family.
