This chapter chronicles the personal transformation of an atheist to a Christian, shedding light on the struggles with depression, anxiety, and self-loathing that paved the way for a spiritual renewal. It explores the themes of faith, humility, and societal influences on belief systems, contrasting views on Christianity and Islam, and the subjective nature of belief. The dialogue delves into the significance of personal experiences, cultural inheritance from religious narratives, and the impact of music and personal stories on shaping beliefs.
At the UnHerd-sponsored Dissident Dialogues Festival in New York, Richard Dawkins and Ayaan Hirsi Ali discussed her recent conversion to Christianity, and whether the whole ‘New Atheism’ movement of which they had both been key members had done more harm than good.
