Description

On November 13 in a now-viral article, Ayaan Hirsi Ali announced her conversion to Christianity. Ali was famous for her vocal repudiation of Islam in favor of atheism, and for courageously maintaining her stance in spite of constant death threats. What should we think about Ali’s arguments for why she has converted? What lessons can be drawn from this event for secularists and atheists who champion the values of the Enlightenment? Join Onkar Ghate and Ben Bayer to discuss these questions.
