In this episode of the podcast we talk about God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens and Reason, Faith, and Revolution by Terry Eagleton. The conversation takes us through some criticisms of Hitchens and the New Atheist Movement which Justin and I were both part of and then we talk about the value of faith and spirituality and how these things fit into a materialist Marxist worldview.
