8. Ayaan Hirsi Ali: A New Atheist embraces Christianity
The Surprising Rebirth Of Belief In God
Debating Atheism, Humanism, and the Roots of the International Rights-Based Order
The critique presented in the discussion challenges the emphasis on rationality as the foundation of the international rights-based order and questions the effectiveness of new atheism.
