The Case for Religious Belief (Robert Wright & Ross Douthat)

Ross Douthat, a New York Times columnist and author of "Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious," argues for the necessity of religious belief. He explores cosmic purpose and the intriguing connection between consciousness and a larger reality. The conversation dives into the mysterious 'weirdness' of life, challenging scientific dismissals of spiritual phenomena. Douthat also discusses how personal experiences of synchronicity can shape belief, prompting listeners to reflect on faith amidst contemporary skepticism.
