- In the midst of an unsettling political time, FFRF’s television talk show will provide a calming respite with a look at the remarkable work of world-renowned painter Scott Burdick. Burdick, an atheist and Life Member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, has also produced documentaries on major state/church issues, including a fascinating record of the fraught challenge removing a Christian flag and statue of a soldier kneeling before a cross in King City, N.C. After discussing his art, beautifully displayed during the interview, Burdick talks about that case, and the invasion of our public schools by evangelical outfits, the topic of another documentary of his. His novels include "Nihala" and "The Immortality Contract," which is currently optioned to become a Netflix series. Those who love art, cinema and books and our secular Constitution will find much to savor in this interview.
“'The Immortality Contract' has very much an atheist sort of a theme,” Burdick tells “Freethought Matters” co-hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor. “Christians constantly would say to me that when you’re on your deathbed, you’re going to change your mind. And so I thought, what if a scientist offered the world a pill that would make them young again indefinitely. But what if he then said: ‘I’m only offering this to people who will agree not to support organized religion.’”

What a wonderful person-thank you for featuring him!
Very enjoyable video! Thanks for highlighting the work of this very talented couple! What a beautiful life they are living! I hope to see more of them in the coming years and I will definitely look for Scott’s books and documentaries. 👍👍👍
great show thank you all!
Excellent!! Thanks
Wow, his artworks are beautiful! Going to add his documentaries and books to my watch/reading lists. Thanks for making me aware of them.
I love this channel! I have a question for Mr. Burdick. I just watched all 3 of the documentaries and I could not believe it. Did you do a follow up on the people from the Three Days to Judgement? What happened to the kids in that video? It's almost 10 years later.
It would be fun to go back and film some of the people again, but I haven't done an official follow-up. I spoke to some of the people after the day came and passed, and none of them had changed their mind on the literal belief in the Bible. They all simply felt that somehow humans had gotten the date wrong, but they would continue looking and hoping for the rapture to come soon.
Wow...how I wished I could draw anything...😭😂
