Breaking Down Walls: A Christian and an Atheist in Conversation
Can Christians and atheists find common ground on the importance of having civil discussions today? That's what Drew (YouTuber: "Genetically Modified Skeptic") and I aim for in this video. Rather than debating questions about the existence of God and the afterlife, as important as these issues are, I ask Drew a ton of questions about his deconversion from Christianity to atheism and how we can have better conversations today across the religious divide.
