Angela's guest Sunsara Taylor has been given the honor of being called a lunatic by Bill O'Reilly on the right wing political program "The O'Reilly Factor" during a heated debate about Sunsara and her colleagues' opposition to the Iraq war and the subsequent torture inflicted upon detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
Sunsara Taylor is not only an anti-war activist but she is also a writer, speaker and uncompromising atheist. Just in time to challenge the religious dogma and traditions associated with the holiday season, Sunsara sits down with Angela to discuss the book "Away With All Gods" authored by Bob Avakian. During the conversation, Susara highlights the role religion has played in promoting oppression and violence against women, racism, fearful superstition and manipulation of the masses. We also get a glimpse into Sunsara's early life when she was a devout and unquestioning Christian who had a dramatic change of heart along the way.
