In Today's Episode:
America was founded by men who thought organized religion kept mankind in the shackles of superstition and ignorance... the most rational nation on earth, built in the Age of Reason. So how did a single generation turn it into doomsday prophets, free love communes, eugenics ledgers, and a woman who declared herself the second coming of Christ? One cult poisoned a man and walked. One bred its own members like livestock and became a silverware company you've probably eaten off of. And the servant who blew the whole thing open in court walked out and became Sojourner Truth.
