Feb. 16th, Michael Weinstein, author of “With God on Our Side”

Michael Weinstein is a proud graduate of the Air Force Academy and father of two graduates and a current cadet. His book is an expose of a systematic program of indoctrination sanctioned, coordinated, and carried out by fundamentalist Christians within the U.S. military. Weinstein will speak about current church-state issues and current court cases regarding religious liberty in the U.S. military. Presented by the Seattle chapter of AU.

Feb. 20th, Charles Darwin: Live and in Concert!

A noted anthropologist at the American Museum of Natural History, Richard Milner performs a unique blend of witty songs, history, science, and madness. His one-man musical about the life and times of Charles Darwin delights audiences of all ages.

Mar. 10th, E.J. Dionne, author of “Souled Out”

Award-winning commentator and journalist e.j.dionne explains why the era of the “religious right” is over. Profiling contemporary religious figures such as Rich Warren and Richard Cizik to John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Dionne shows that our great religious traditions have always preached a broad message of hope and have refused to be mere props for the powers that be. He also argues that atheist writers such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens should be seen as a gift to believers, by demanding that they live up to their proclaimed values and embrace scientific and philosophical inquiry.
