JOHNSON & HARRIS & THE A-WORD
& "ATHEIST CLEANSING," OH MY!
Interview now archived at http://www.answersinatheism.net

The server was glutted, the phone lines were jammed ... but if you weren't able to log on to the show, you can now hear last Thursday's interview with American Atheists President Ellen Johnson over the controversy about using "the A-word."

The program was hosted by attorney and First Amendment activist Edwin Kagin on the new answersinaatheism.net web site. Ellen Johnson was responding to recent statements made by author Sam Harris that Atheists -- and even Freethinkers, Humanists, Secularists and other non-believers -- need to stop using "negative" labels to describe themselves.
