Talking Atheist Christmas with Betsy DeVille
Episode 60
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
It's beginning to look a lot like Atheist Christmas. We start the episode with a story about the Tooth Fairy, and then we talk with Betsy DeVille about her book, Christmas for Atheists, and what to think about when celebrating as a secular family. Listen to the end for some amazing gingerbread house tips.
