Donald Trump’s Evangelical Christian Sex Mulligan (Hemant Mehta and Jessica, The Friendly Atheist #201)

In our latest podcast, Jessica and I discussed the past week in politics and atheism.
We talked about:
 — A GOP House member got called out on CNN for not knowing what the “Immaculate Conception” was. (4:14)
 — The Christian Right is giving Donald Trump a “mulligan” on everything immoral he did before his presidency. (9:44)
 — Generation Z, born after 1999, is less religious than any other age group. (22:33)
 -– Self-hating atheist S.E. Cupp explained why evangelical Christians continue to stand behind Trump. (28:55)
 — Courtland Sykes wins this week’s award for most misogynistic Republican in the state of Missouri. (36:26)
 — Want to alter South Dakota’s state seal? You could have been jailed for it. (42:40)
 — The nation was less supportive of LGBTQ people in 2017, compared to the previous year. I wonder what changed… (48:34)
— We have no confirmation yet on whether this church advertisement featuring a “hot” pastor is real. (52:15)
 — The judge overseeing the Larry Nassar sentencing was on fire. (56:20)
 — The Satanic Temple is using the Religious Right’s legal arguments against them in Missouri. (1:01:33) We’d love to hear your thoughts on the podcast.
