There's no real necessity for complete balance in this sort of article, but you should at least mention dissenting viewpoints. Perhaps a "see also" with some other shows that talk about religion and society (pro- and anti-)? Deranged bulbasaur 06:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

How can it be unbalanced? It doesn't SAY anything! Summary: It's broadcast every Saturday in such-and-such-a-format-and-timeslot, with FFRF's co-presidents interviewing a guest, and here are a few previous guests. There's no way this violates NPOV. Where's the presentation of any reason whatsoever to approve or disapprove of it, in whole or in part? Nowhere! You couldn't use these facts to convince anyone, no matter how easily they COULD be convinced of things, that, say, it was a good show. Well, I wouldn't mind if I'd written this article and MADE it unbalanced and someone pointed that out, but ... Surely having NO opinions at all is as balanced (equal weight to both sides) as it can get! I have recently begun suspecting Wikipedians use "NPOV" as a reason to delete anything bolder than they'd say, even if it's "neutral" in any conventional English usage. However, even on that cynical assumption, I can NOT understand this NPOV dispute. It's like accusing someone of expressing preference of one ethnic group over another when s/he hasn't said anything about ethnicity or anything related to it. Well, maybe I'm missing something. Feel free to tell me.
