Many claim that good and moral acts cannot exist outside of the concept of God. Many also believe that humanity has become increasingly turbulent, violent, sinful and wicked, and they yearn for the simple, moral days of old.
In this broadcast, we speak with three special guests about "goodness:"
1) John Figdor, Humanist Chaplain at Stanford University and co-author of the book, "Atheist Mind / Humanist Heart" http://www.atheistmindhumanistheart.com
2) Dale McGowan, educator on secular parenting and Executive Director of the Foundation Beyond Belief http://dalemcgowan.com
3) Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic Magazine and author of the new book, "The Moral Arc: How Science and Reason Lead Humanity Toward Truth, Justice, and Freedom. http://www.amazon.com/The-Moral-Arc-Science-Humanity/dp/0805096914
