The Freedom From Religion Foundation’s “Freethought Matters” show this Sunday delves into Hispanic disbelief in Spain and worldwide.

The show’s interview is with Manel Salido, the president of the Humanists of Spain and host of the international Spanish-language show “Razón o Fe,” which means “Reason or Faith.”

“We are running ahead of you,” Salido teases “Freethought Matters” co-hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor about the fact that Spain has a higher percentage of atheists than the United States. “You must shape up.”

If you don’t live in the quarter-plus of the nation where the show broadcasts on Sunday, you can already catch the interview on the “Freethought Matters” playlist on FFRF’s YouTube channel. New shows go up every Thursday. You can also receive notifications when we post new episodes of “Freethought Matters” by subscribing to FFRF’s YouTube channel.

A Defense of the Supreme Court Expansion, and, in a return visit, U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, the only “out” nonbeliever in Congress.

The show launched its fall season in early September with clips from the best past interviews on the program. Subsequently, it featured an interview with famed evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. The program has focused on a landmark Supreme Court case against religious indoctrination in public schools, has offered answers on how nonreligious people should deal with death. A few weeks ago, the interview was with FFRF Honorary Director Katha Pollitt, one of the nation’s foremost writers, freethinkers, atheists and feminists. The show prior to the most recent one interviewed distinguished evolutionary psychologist and renowned author Harvard Professor Steven Pinker. Last week’s show was a homage to the recently departed acting legend Ed “Lou Grant” Asner
