I sat down with philosopher and author Peter Boghossian to wrestle with one of the defining questions of modern American life: Can human rights, equality, and morality be justified without a belief in God?

We had a great conversation and took it as deep as we could in just two hours: atheist vs. Christian, but more importantly, friend to friend.
