Disbelief with Will Gervais

My returning guest this week is Will Gervais (@willgervais.com‬), a professor who studies evolutionary and cultural psychology at the Centre for Culture and Evolution at Brunel University London. He recently published a book called Disbelief: The Origins of Atheism in a Religious Species and it’s genuinely a must read for anyone who either believes in god or doesn’t, so I’ve brought him on to pick his brain on what makes some people theists and others atheists.
