Would we be better off without religion.mp3

At the time of this talk, the Sydney Morning Herald covered a debate exploring this question and many decided that religion was damaging to society. John Dickson explores the concerns of society as a result of 9/11 and the rise of the new atheists in this carefully reasoned talk. The three parts of this talk are:

1) These complaints are serious

2) What is incomplete in these criticisms

3) What is Jesus' answer to these allegations?
