Is Faith Irrational?

Shane Rosenthal was raised in a Jewish home and became an atheist at an early age. But some years later, he lost faith in atheism and converted to Christianity. On this episode, he interacts with quotes from Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and others who argue that "faith is the absence of evidence." This definition of faith is out of step with the Oxford English Dictionary, which describes faith as "belief based on evidence..." Shane also investigates the Greek and Latin words related to faith in this fascinating exploration. This is episode 2 of The Humble Skeptic podcast which is available on Apple, Spotify, and other podcast portals.
