To believe or not to believe: atheism on the rise
More Australians than ever before are saying 'no' to religion, and 'yes' to secular beliefs such as atheism. Yet, the majority of the population still identifies with a religion. On God Forbid, James Carleton and the panel examine atheism, disbelief and what we really mean by 'religion'.
Guests:
Monica Dux is a writer, commentator, and a columnist for The Age. She is the author of "Lapsed, losing your religion is harder than it looks".
David Newheiser is a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry at Australian Catholic University. He is the author of "Hope in a Secular Age".
Presented by James Carleton and produced by Rohan Salmond & Hong Jiang.
