This is a truly fascinating conversation with Rev Dr Jamie Franklin, a 'based vicar' and host of the Irreverend podcast. Jamie talks to Nick about:

-The experience that made him become a Christian 

-Why we shouldn’t leave the Church of England 

-What Dawkins and Sam Harris get wrong 

-Why atheists believe in magic 

-The flaws of evangelical Christianity 

-Why beauty in art matters 

-His worst failure as a Christian 

And we also prove the existence of God. You’re welcome.
