Can Civilization Survive Without God?

Christopher Hitchens (a prominent atheist and columnist for Vanity Fair) and his brother Peter (a well-regarded Christian author) recently squared off in a debate over whether or not civilization can survive without God. This discussion was hosted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and moderated by EPPC Vice President Michael Cromartie. During the debate the brothers discussed morality, the science and origin of moral conscience, and the affect religious, specifically Christian, morality has on a civilization. Watch a clip and read a summary of the event here



For more than ten years, EPPC Vice President Michael Cromartie's Faith Angle Forum has brought together a select group of nationally respected journalists and distinguished scholars for in-depth discussions of some of the most crucial issues facing Americans today. Twice yearly, in South Beach, Miami, the Forum holds a two-day conference to discuss these important dimensions of our public life in a serious fashion, miles removed from Washington's ideological battlefields.
