Does the West Need Religion?

Michael Shermer and Adam Carolla debate Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Ross Douthat. Hosted by Bari Weiss (The Free Press) in Austin, TX.

Is rising secularism the culprit for modern malaise? Or is the problem elsewhere—the result of rapid technological changes, growing economic inequality, and other social disruptions? And would a return to religion be a return to dogma, repression, and intolerance?

On February 27, an all-star lineup convenes in Austin, TX to answer the question: “Does the West Need a Religious Revival?” Michael Shermer and Adam Carolla (atheists) will face off against Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Ross Douthat (Christians).

Debate hosted by The Free Press.
