With Dr. Peter Boghossian and Anthony Magnabosco Summary: Dr. Peter Boghossian invited me to speak with a class about atheism and Street Epistemology over video chat, and we ended up having a wonderful and frank discussion on a variety of subjects. The topic of faith came up twice during our talk, which I've combined into the version you see here.
