Is atheism a belief system? Andy Bannister vs Ed Turner
Playback speed
Andy Bannister is the author of ‘The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist’. Its amusingly titled chapters include ‘The Scandinavian sceptic (or: Why atheism is really a belief system)’.
Atheist Ed Turner last did battle with Andy several years ago on the show. He returns to debate who has the burden of proof when it comes to belief/unbelief in God and whether atheism is or isn’t like being a non-stamp collector.
Towards the end of the show Justin also speaks to the UK's former chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks about his new book on Religion and violence 'Not in God's name' https://www.hodder.co.uk/Books/detail.page?isbn=9781473616516
