- Atheists like to present themselves as lovers of reason and science on a crusade to expose the irrationality and superstitious tendencies of religious believers. Don and Brandon spend the show examining this claim. Along the way they read a report from the recent “Reason Rally” by Carl Olsen and listen to part of Adam Savage’s speech at that event. They also reference several good books on the subject, including The Book that Made Your World by Vishal Mangalwadi, The Last Superstition by Edward Feser, and True Reason by Tom Gilson and Carson Weitnauer. Other works to check out: The Soul of Science by Nancy Pearcey, The Victory of Reason by Rodney Stark, and How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization by Thomas E. Woods.
