Is the existence of a creator God foundational to human morality? Does theism or atheism provide the best foundation for human worth? Can we treat morality as independent of religion? Peter Singer, controversial atheist philosopher and one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People”, discusses the implications of atheism and theism for morality with John Hare, Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale. Q&A is moderated by Eric Gregory, Professor of Religion at Princeton.
