Not a pleasant person by all standards — some have called her “Mad Madalyn,” others “The Most Hated Woman in America,” but we promise the real story of Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the truth behind the curtain, is ever so much more interesting than Saint Patrick’s story.
Madalyn’s adult life was dark, funny, scary, poignant and powerful. You might best know her for Murray v Curlett, the lawsuit that took down the policy of mandatory prayer and bible reading in Baltimore public schools. Join us now to learn the secret history. Perhaps you will evolve a new conclusion, freethinker that you are.
From Variety.com: “Godless in America,” produced by U.K. indie October Films for the BBC and the Sundance Channel in the U.S., follows the ongoing struggle of American atheists interwoven with the story of Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the founder of American Atheists, who was murdered in 1995 at age 76.
As usual, we will have a lively group discussion after viewing this documentary, with an opportunity to say just what you think about Madalyn & her legacy. We will be “all ears”!
