Description

Sunday June 10, 2018 Atheism is Non-Partisan Minnesota Atheists recently hosted a candidate forum for those running for Governor, US Senate, US House of Representatives, Secretary of State, and Attorney General. We invited all candidates to answer the following question at the forum, either themselves or an official campaign representative authorized to speak on their behalf: "How will your personal views on religion be separated from how you administer our secular government?" Our opening speaker was Evan Stewart, a doctoral candidate in the department of sociology at the University of Minnesota. His dissertation work examines the political impact of the growing non-religious population in the United States. We wanted to test the draw of the secular voter that has been on the rise in the past number of years.  We encourage candidates from across the political spectrum to attend, as atheism is non-partisan, from the most liberal of liberal to the most conservative of conservative...atheism is not tied to any political ideology. If you enjoyed this show, we'd love to have you come back next week for another fantastic episode.  You can catch Atheist Talk live, every Sunday Morning at 9:00am Central on AM 950 KTNF or online at http://www.am950radio.com/listen-live/ Contact us during the show with questions or comments at (952) 946-6205 or contact us anytime via radio@mnatheists.org or tweet us anytime at @atheiststalk Support this show by visiting https://www.patreon.com/AtheistTalk
