Soul Search - A podcast by ABC Radio - Sundays

Professor Stephen Asma was a fairly confident atheist, until he saw the emotional and social value of religion while living in Cambodia. Now, his new book Why We Need Religion argues that religious belief contributes to the very survival of the human species. He joins Rachael to talk about his shift to agnosticism, the appeal of Buddhism, and why atheism is a social club motivated by outrage and anger.
