For this episode of The
Chauncey DeVega Show,
I had the great opportunity to talk with Mr. Frank
Schaeffer.
He is a frequent guest on MSNBC, Free Speech TV, and many other
radio and TV outlets.
Mr. Schaeffer possesses gifted insight on the rise of the Christian
Right in the United States. As a young man, he was there as his
father, along with the likes of Jerry Falwell, laid the groundwork
for the influence of the Christian Right on the Republican Party.
Frank has shared those experiences in his New York Times
best-selling book Crazy
for God.
I have been a longtime admirer of Frank Schaeffer's honesty and
truth-telling. In this conversation, he and I talk about the rise
of Christian Fascism and its threat to American democracy, the
popularity of the movie American
Sniper,
how the useful idiots of the Religious Right are duped, his
insights into the unholy union between the plutocrats and the
Christian Right, and touch on matters of faith, spirituality, and
religion as they relate to Mr. Schaeffer's new
book Why
I am an Atheist Who Believes in God.
