You've seen the various religion polls and
the reported percentages of unbelievers – and the
polls vary widely. How do you know which polls are more
reliable? Join Tom Flynn as he explores how sociologists
and pollsters measure religious belief and unbelief. He
will also cover the controversies and scandals in the polling
field, and what the polling data on religion really mean (for
example, how many of those "no religious preference" people are
really atheists?).
Tom Flynn is Executive
Director of the Council for Secular Humanism and the Editor of
Free Inquiry magazine. A
journalist, novelist, entertainer, and folklorist, Flynn is the
author of numerous articles for Free Inquiry, many
addressing church-state issues, as well as the best-selling
The Trouble With Christmas, about which
he has made hundreds of radio and TV appearances in his role as
the curmudgeonly “anti-Claus.” He is also the
author of the critically acclaimed anti-religious black comedy
science fiction novels, Galactic Rapture and Nothing Sacred. His latest
work, The New Encyclopedia of Unbelief, is a
comprehensive reference work on the history, beliefs, and
thinking of America’s fastest growing minority: those
who live without religion.
