Beyond New Atheism: is a constructive adult relationship possible between atheism and religion?
Beyond New Atheism: is a constructive adult relationship possible between atheism and religion?


On this episode of The Portal, [[Eric Weinstein|Eric]] hosts leading conservative rabbi [[David Wolpe]] and explores the possibilities for, and problems with, a new synthesis of atheism and religion in our modern era that avoids special pleading. The two discuss what everyone might be getting wrong about the divide between religion and rationality by focusing on the existence or non-existence of god(s). Eric starts off with a gambit by asking the Rabbi what the question of god's existence might be crowding out and the conversation goes from there to unusual places (e.g. "Was Seinfeld secretly a course in Talmudic law with a laugh track?").
