Religion and science take center stage in a forum analyzing the role of faith in public and private life.
I like to call it my night with the atheist and the rabbi.
The American Jewish University invited me, as an editor of articles on religion, to moderate a debate this fall between author Sam Harris and Rabbi David Wolpe, and for about 90 minutes they analyzed the role of religion in public and private life.
Harris, author of the bestsellers "The End of Faith" and "Letter to a Christian Nation," noted the violence committed in the name of religion. "You can get good people to believe some very terrible things in the name of God," he said.
