Ross Douthat—a New York Times columnist, the host of “Interesting Times,” and a convert to Catholicism—is among the brightest people writing today on culture, religion, and politics. In this episode, Ross and I discuss his latest book Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious; the rise and fall of the New Atheists; the rational case for Christian faith; the future of Western civilization; and more. I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
