The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss

NOTE

"Christians were called atheists" and the slippery slope of societal transformation

The speaker discusses the historical misconception of Christians being called atheists because they didn't know about other gods. They talk about how Christians effectively changed society and removed classical statues. They argue that society is always one step away from book burning and discuss the controversy of expressing atheism on social media. The speaker likens it to someone being offended by a notice for guitar lessons when they don't want them. They question why people accuse them of forcing atheism on others.
