Description:
Madalyn Murray (O'Hair), founder of American Atheists who was dubbed "the most hated woman in America" by Life Magazine in 1964, talks about her philosophy in these two recordings. On the first program, she goes into more detail about her atheism. On the second program, she discusses some of the incidents she's encountered in her militant fight against religion. The broadcast comes from a two-record LP produced by the Freethought Society of America.
