The Chariots of Iron podcast was founded in 2008 to provide a forum which features "news and topical discussions on atheism, humanism, skepticism, science, religious history, scriptural criticism and (of course) wacky religious antics." The hosts consider themselves to be "Atheiskeptihumanists™", and derive the name of their podcast from the first chapter of Judges, which says that:

"And Yahweh was with Judah, who made himself master of the highlands; he could not, however, dispossess the inhabitants of the plain, since they had chariots of iron."

I was a guest on their most recent podcast, and talked extensively about the North Texas Church of Freethought, its founding, and what has made it so successful. The hosts were also very interested in promoting the foundation of new Churches of Freethought throughout the country and even the world. Without a doubt, this is something that the NTCOF supports, and just as we have made it a simple process for a sister church in Houston to organize, we can provide the same assistance to any other individuals who are serious about organizing a Church of Freethought in their area.

I was graciously invited by Marilyn Westfall of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Lubbock to speak to her group about freethought, atheism, and the recent goings-on of the North Texas Church of Freethought. You can watch my presentation below:
