- Doesn't believe that Christians are being persecuted in the US. Thinks, they should broaden their minds.

- Is a Satanist, but does not believe in the existence of either Satan or God.
(Seems to me like a member of the luciferic denomination of Satanism, where people try to live according to Lucifer's world-view as described in the Bible: skepticism and rejection of authority.)

- His wife wants to give away packages with cookies to the kids in the neighborhood for free... with a sticker promoting Satanism at the bottom of the box.

1. There are a couple of errors in your post.

Talk Heathen is a television show, not a radio show. It is an atheist show, produced by the Atheist Community of Austin, and therefore it is not a religious show, by definition.

Anyway, the caller is absolutely right in that Christians are not being persecuted in the US. It sounds like he is perhaps associated with the Satanic Temple, which has been doing good work to indirectly promote the separation of church and state. From the caller's tone, I don't think he was serious about the cookies and sticker scheme, but either way, Jamie rightly discouraged that idea.
