"It is, as I have said ... a small podcast; and yet, there are those who love it." (with apologies to Daniel Webster, Dartmouth Class of 1801)

Recorded January 24, 2006

Professor of Philosophy and Hardy Professor of Legal Studies Walter Sinnott-Armstrong is a philosopher and confirmed atheist who argues that religion is nothing more than a comfortable fiction. His scholarship encompasses work on ethics, philosophy of law, epistemology, and informal logic and he is the author of "God? A Debate Between a Christian and and an Atheist." In this podcast, Sinnott-Armstrong discusses the reasoning behind his beliefs and talks about the social and political implications of heterodoxy in matters of faith.
