If Charles Krauthammer is an atheist, does that mean it’s unsafe to allow my children to watch Fox News?

Yes. But I would have the same answer no matter what Krauthammer believed.
Sounds like a pantheist rather than an atheist, but even so. . .
There are a great many reasons why it is unsafe for your children to watch Fox News. Krauthammer is only one of them.
Only if you care about their mental health.
Logical fallacy. You’re implying causation, whereas Fox News would be just as bad for your kids if, in a better world, Charles Krauthammer didn’t exist.
I’m just saying, as a devout Christian, I thought I could trust Fox to edify my children and inculcate good, patriotic, American values, but with Krauthammer on there saying there is no God, I don’t think it’s safe to plop my children in front of that, you know what I mean?
My kids could go to hell for that.
Right?
Depends what kind of Christian, right? The Christians I respect would be more worried about the cute blonde women spewing hatred of their neighbor. Hell, if I were a Christian I’d call the kids to watch Krauthammer’s rare moment of honesty: “See, even the wickedest, uncoolest hypocrite can wrestle with theodicy.”
And at Christmas time, no less. He might as well declare that there is no Santa Claus.
Well, as mark twain said, they can go to heaven for the scenery, but hell for the company.
