S5 E4 | We Are All Miracles: A Faith and Liberalism Series with Angel Eduardo

The Dissidents

This week Jennifer Richmond and Angel Eduardo continue their conversation on faith and liberalism. The main question we tackle in this conversation is: do we need religion? Jennifer credits her faith to her “upward aim” and “striving” and doubts that she would approach life with such a conviction without her faith. Angel says that he can accomplish this same quest for moral “goodness” without the “baggage” of religion. Instead of “systematizing” his moral objectives to the Bible or Christian principles, Angel takes the good from innumerable stories that span history. What we both know, albeit from different perspectives, is that we are all a collection of miracles. We end the conversation promising to continue the discussion and will do so in our live March Liberalism in Practice Panel Discussion on March 27 at 7pm ET. We hope you can join us.
