Hey, everybody, everybody. Well, from Salt Lake City, Utah, this is, thank God, I'm atheist, a podcast about religion, politics, life in America these days. And I'm Frank Feldman. And with me today is Rachel. Hello. Who is sitting in for Dan, who's out of town.

Undisclosed location.

Oh, that's secret.

I don't know what he's up to.

He'll tell us about it next week.

We'll find out what he's doing.

But coming up today on the show um we are going to be

talking about a very uh a very a very kind of dumb article uh that was in the salt lake tribune

um it's seven pretty boring reasons americans give for leaving religion i don't think a dumb article that was in the Salt Lake Tribune.

It's seven pretty boring reasons Americans give for leaving religion.

I don't think any of these are going to be that shocking to any of you, dear listeners.

But we kind of have a little bit of a take on it that we'll get to. And again, that's on the second half of the show. First,

we have some news of the week, things that happened, things we want to talk about, including the fact that the Pope has announced, and we've talked about this guy before, Carlos Acutus, he's the first digital era saint.

But the Pope has announced an actual canonization mass date, which will be April 27th of 2025, for those of you who...

Mark your calendar.

Eagerly waiting.

Rachel, what's exciting about this is Carlos Acutis will be the first millennial saint.

Oh, oh, finally my generation is represented.

Your people are getting. We are holy.

Your very own saint.

Carlos passed away in 2006, the age of 15.

Jesus.
