<p>Mike Lee aka "The Religious Antagonist" is a US atheist who makes YouTube videos mocking Christianity.

Should atheists be more religious? Alain de Botton & James Orr - Unbelievable? 11 Feb 2012
<p>Atheism 2.0 is the logical next step for non-believers according to cultural philosopher Alain de Botton. He outlines why atheists should borrow from the art, architecture, community, and contemplative traditions of religion without the supernatural beliefs. </p> <p>The book "Religion for atheists" drew criticism from Richard Dawkins and others after De Botton apparently suggested that there should be "temples for atheism". De Botton responds and also gives his opinion on AC Grayling's "The Good Book" and Terry Eagleton's unfavourable review in The Guardian.</p> <p>Recorded in De Botton's home, he chats with James Orr, a Christian convert studying for a PhD in the History of Ideas at Cambridge University. They discuss whether the trappings of religion make sense without the kernel of faith.</p> <p>For Alain de Botton <a href='http://www.alaindebotton.com/'>http://www.alaindebotton.com/</a></p> <p>Buy "Religion for Atheists" <a href='http://amzn.to/rsrtAe'>http://amzn.to/rsrtAe</a></p> <p>The TED Talk <a href='http://blog.ted.com/2012/01/17/atheism-2-0-alain-de-botton-on-ted-com/'>http://blog.ted.com/2012/01/17/atheism-2-0-alain-de-botton-on-ted-com/</a></p> For more Christian/non-Christian debate visit <a href='http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable'>http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable</a> or get the MP3 podcast <a href='http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx'>http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx</a> or <a href='http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=267142101'>Via Itunes </a> If you enjoyed this progamme you may also enjoy: <a href='http://www.premierradio.org.uk/listen/ondemand.aspx?mediaid=%7B22270DCA-F786-4FAC-AF8A-CD12ED69620B%7D'>Unbelievable? 17 Dec 2011 Believing Bulls**t - Is Christianity an intellectual blackhole?</a> Stephen Law & James Orr <a href='http://www.premierradio.org.uk/listen/ondemand.aspx?mediaid=%7B72EF1AF1-D86F-42DB-9708-16AFFC423A31%7D'>Unbelievable? 26 Oct 2011 - William Lane Craig vs Peter Millican - Does God exist?</a> <a href='http://www.premierradio.org.uk/listen/ondemand.aspx?mediaid=%7B23DF742B-66ED-4D72-B6E9-E684B2E99FFC%7D'>Unbelievable? 2 Apr 2011 - Is it best to be agnostic?</a> Mark Vernon & David Robertson Join the conversation at <a href='http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable'>http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable</a> and via <a href='http://www.facebook.com/unbelievablejb'>Facebook </a>and <a href='http://www.twitter.com/unbelievablejb'>Twitter</a>

Unbelievable? 17 Sep 2011 - Can an atheist believe in meaning?
COMING SOON: Book into the UK Reasonable Faith Tour with William Lane Craig <a href='http://www.premier.org.uk.craig/'>http://www.premier.org.uk.craig</a> Geoff Crocker is a former Christian, now atheist. However, he says he still believes in Spirituality even as an atheist and that believing the universe is Godless does not mean there is no meaning to be grasped. His book "An Enlightened Philosophy" asks if atheism may be able to borrow from Religion "reintrepreted as myth". Peter S Williams is a Christian Philosopher and apologist. He says that Atheism does not allow for objective meaning, value or purpose, only theism can provide those.
