Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger reflects on the decline of religion in Western civilization and why secular moral philosophy may lack the seriousness needed to sustain a culture. In this conversation, Sanger discusses his former skepticism, his appreciation for Christianity’s moral framework, and how arguments from causality, design, and the laws of nature led him to re-examine the case for God. Sanger also explains why purely naturalistic ethics often feel insufficient, and why Christianity uniquely fostered moral seriousness long before he became a believer.
