Richard Dawkins: Can we live in a world without religion?


Listen Later

Richard Dawkins is considered one of the top British intellectuals of the 21st Century. He’s known for his opinions on atheism and his books on evolution. In his most recent book, Outgrowing God, he talks about his own experience with religion, and how science offers us a far more convincing and concrete view of the world we live in.

We sat down with Richard to discuss his views on faith, flat-earthers and Facebook.
