Great debate on religion - Hitchens, Dawkins etc

                                 PROPOSING THE MOTION: Christopher Hitchens, Professor Richard Dawkins & A.C. Grayling. OPPOSING THE MOTION: Dr Nigel Spivey, Roger Scruton & Rabbi Julia Neuberger. The point here is that intelligent people can disagree and argue respectfully. Each human being has a right to work out their views based on the evidence. Which arguments do you find persuasive? It's important to note that some terms can be confusing. We need to distinguish between religion as organised religion and personal spirituality.You will notice that these speakers all reflect their own reactions to the ABRAHAMIC religions. These are not the only religions in the world as a glance at Indian spirituality will show.
