Episode notes

In what sense have people been trained to adhere to QAnon? So religion, they've been trained to believe for 2000 years through very sophisticated institutions. I would bet a fair amount of money that atheism does not correlate with QAnon and evangelical Christianity does.

Sam Harris is a neuroscientist, philosopher, author, and the host of the Making Sense podcast. He rose to prominence as a member of the “Four Horsemen” of New Atheism, which also included Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens.

In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Sam Harris discuss the intellectual case for atheism; why both left and right have become more extreme in recent years; and the prospects of a more rational politics in the near future.
