You Tube Theology

In a world where conflicting faiths divide societies, often violently, the inevitable question arises: Can faiths harmoniously coexist? Vinoth Ramachandra and Akeel Bilgrami discuss secularism and pluralism from two different worldviews, Christian and atheist. From The Veritas Forum at Columbia University, 2009.

Which worldviews best promote coexistence and encourage members of diverse faith communities to engage in meaningful discussion with one another? Is there a place for faith in such a worldview, or must tolerant worldviews be secular and free from faith? Can any worldview, including a secular one, be truly neutral? Vinoth Ramachandra addresses the challenges of pluralism from Christian perspective, Akeel Bilgrami from the secular humanist perspective. A moderated discussion by Dr. David Eisenbach with audience question-and-answer follows the opening presentations.
