About this listen

Christopher Hitchens didn’t just challenge religion—he declared war on it. In this episode, we dive into the explosive claims of God Is Not Great and the fierce debates it sparked. Was Hitchens right that religion poisons everything, stifles science, and fuels historical atrocities? Or did his rhetoric outpace his reasoning?

We explore the sharpest critiques of Hitchens’ atheism, including whether it offers a meaningful worldview or simply rejects belief without building something better. And we don’t stop there—we bring in theistic counterpoints: Can atheism ground objective morality? Do the Big Bang and the universe’s fine-tuning hint at a cosmic designer?

This isn’t just a philosophical tug-of-war—it’s a deep, provocative journey into the heart of belief, doubt, and the search for truth. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge your assumptions and leave you thinking long after the credits roll.

Tune in if you're ready to wrestle with the big questions
