How in the world could a Christian and an atheist have a civil conversation about the current political climate in the West? It's easier than you think! As free speech collapses across Europe and ideological enforcement tightens its grip on the U.S., many are asking, are we truly "free" anymore?

This week, Frank is joined by philosopher Dr. Peter Boghossian, author of 'A Manual for Creating Atheists', fresh off their surprise appearance together at the chaotic TPUSA event at UC Berkeley. Together, they examine why civil dialogue is breaking down, why Islam presents a unique challenge to Western civilization, and why the modern left seems incapable of self-correction. In this episode, Frank and Peter tackle questions like:

• Why did Peter leave his position at Portland State University?
• Why was Peter invited to the TPUSA event at UC Berkeley?
• Why has the radical left "gone to crazy town" and seems unable to engage in meaningful dialogue?
• Why do people who can't form arguments call reason "oppression" and switch to bigotry and discrimination?
• Why is it so important to have open dialogue with people who may disagree with you?
• Why does Peter think Islamic immigration is an important topic that needs to be discussed?
• What work did Peter do with prison inmates and what dangerous mission is he planning next?
• Why does Peter care about freedom of religion even though he's an atheist?
• Why does a free society require free speech to survive?
• Why doesn't Peter publicize his events?
• Why do facts often fail to change people's minds?
• Why does Peter call himself a "cultural Christian" even though he's atheist?

In a world where people are starving for civil discourse, this light-hearted conversation between Frank and Peter is a breath of fresh air! Be sure to catch the next episode as their conversation continues on cancel culture, free speech, and how to ground objective morality.
