Welcome to The Things that Matter Most, the show where we talk about things everyone is passionate about, but that matter much more than sports or politics.

We’re your hosts, and each week we bring you a different spiritual perspective or current topic of interest, but our purpose is always the same: to ask questions about our basic beliefs and see how they line up with solid evidence and the reality we all experience. Whether our guest is a humanist or a Hindu, whether our topic is a new movie or an age-old dilemma, we hope our conversation gives you confidence that what you believe is true.

	The New Atheist Crusaders and Their Unholy Grail: The Misguided Quest to Destroy Your Faith By: Becky Garrison A challenge has been issued on matters of faith and Becky Garrison meets it head on in this witty yet poignant answer to the Anti-God gurus Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett. Becky Garrison, religious satirist and senior contributing editor for The Wittenberg Door, is taking a stand. Where most Christians assume the character of the Cowardly Lion chanting, "I do believe, I do believe, I do believe," Garrison refuses to simply thrust tracts at these self-proclaimed infidels. Instead, Garrison steels her pen and takes on the ungodly program of the New Atheists, skewering each argument with her sharp satiric wit. Garrison turns aside the atheists' assault without ignoring its real criticisms, namely, the church's inadequate response to war, evolution, medical ethics, social justice, and other important issues in the post-9/11 world.
