This is a short one. We discuss an issue at Go’s school that made him feel singled out as a secular kid. And then we talk about how we’d both like to be more involved in our community, but we’re tired. But maybe we won’t be soon. I think this is the great myth of adulthood - that there will be some time when we’re not exhausted and stretched thin. So you just have to do the things anyway.

April 25th at 7pm ET. https://m.twitch.tv/dissonancepod/home *** We start the episode talking about our Spring Break at Colonial Williamsburg. And then we hear a bit more from Alastair Lichten, a humanist activist and community organiser. He writes about political and social issues, parenting, family, relationships and life from the perspective of a progressive humanist parent, on his blog: A Humanist Dad. Alongside various voluntary roles, Alastair has led on education campaigns for the UK's National Secular Society, and local groups for Humanists UK, and in this discussion, I ask more about what he’s learned about the effects of religious education. We finish up talking about two episodes of Dear Old Dads and how we feel about sleepovers and trusting other people with our kids. And the answer is…. I know this is going to be shocking… Complex.

We begin the episode talking about the LA fires and our inability to cover current events. And then we speak with Katie about Camp Quest, a summer camp founded on the conviction that all kids deserve fun, friends, and freethought. Not only does Katie give great advice about knowing when kids are ready for sleepaway camp, but the whole mission and vibe of Camp Quest is a lesson in treating children with respect and care.

Should We Teach Our Kids to Lie About Our Atheist Family if Being Honest Could Bring Discrimination? 52:17

Heads up - this was recorded before the election, but we only discuss it very briefly at the end in a way that hopefully won’t make you feel more awful than you already do. That being said, we began with a story about watching Tig Notaro specials with the boys and what an amazing role model she is. Then Moms explains how she thinks the atheist community could have done better. We went after the wrong Christian mom influencer. (Another heads-up that this involves discussion of miscarriage.) Finally, we think about how we’d talk to our kids if we lived in a community where our non-belief might bring discrimination. Lie altogether about our atheism? Teach them to lie? Do something else? It’s so hard this even needs to be a discussion and our hearts go out to all the families in this position.

We begin with a long discussion of the boys’ feelings about their martial arts classes and Pops’ changing perspective on them. Then we review our different feelings about clutter. And we finish up talking about Louisiana’s awful new law requiring that the ten commandments be posted in classrooms…twice.

NPR article about Louisiana’s law requiring the ten commandments be in all classrooms. BAHACON 2024 . Forrest Valkai . Seth Andrews . Kate Cohen . The Family Skeptical: We’re a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children.
