Husband and Wife are two non-believers who have always wanted to read the Bible. Why would we subject ourselves to this you might ask? From our perspective it helps us understand where the Christians around us, here in the Midwest, are coming from when they quote the Bible at us.

  • I absolutely love this podcast

    I absolutely love this podcast. Husband and wife are absolutely hilarious. I think it’s great for new atheist and old atheist alike. It leans a lot to the left however, I still love it and I am a republican. I think it should focus less on the political because atheist come all shape sizes, color, genders, and political views.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sacrilegious Discourse

What is Sacrilegious Discourse about and what kind of topics does it cover?
