94 - Common Atheist Objections Pt. 2

www.caitlinwest.com

"The fact that people's religion tends to align with the culture and country that they grew up in shows that religion is just a cultural construct"

"There are so many hypocritical people who have used religion to abuse others, to start wars, or to seek power. These people undermine the validity of religion."

"We no longer need God; science explains everything we need to know."

"If God exists, then why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?"

In this episode, we wrap up our discussion of objections to belief in God.
