David John Wellman | The History of Atheism (Christ-splained) (Response to Joey Bernas) @DavidJohnWellman | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 minutes ago.
Evangelist Joey Bernas of Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) takes us on a history of atheism, from the printing press to the New Atheists. It's a really "interesting" lecture, omitting things like the logical positivists and the Lisbon Earthquake, but including things like Sam Harris's advocacy of psychedelics, as well as the "worldview" that all atheists have. Clearly, some commentary and correction is called for. Along the way we get some help from people like Geddy Lee, Paul Rudd, John Oliver, Keanu Reeves, Baron d'Holbach, and -- in an absolutely indispensable role -- Patrick Stewart.
