World-renown physicist Stephen Hawking (http://www.space.com/20710-stephen-hawking-god-big-bang.html) is an atheist because he does not believe science needs a God to answer the mysteries of existence. Others arrive at atheism because a traumatic experience destroyed a belief in God. This week’s guest, Dr. Robert Rose, (http://www.imaginativecurriculum.com/) author of Godless and the Good Life and host of the radio show, Rewiring Your Brain (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/icdrrose), falls into the second category, though his disbelief in God has led him to a deeper belief in humanity. Listen in as Philip Mereton and Dr. Rose debate what atheism means and whether all religions, in the end, need a God.
