The Star interviews Ross Douthat, NYTimes “Conservative”
“Ross Douthat is a rational man. During his decade and a half at the New York Times — where he writes a weekly column and newsletter and co-hosts the Matter of Opinion podcast — he has become one of America’s most prominent public intellectuals. He’s also a conservative and a Catholic. In his new book, Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious (out February 11), he claims that, even in our disenchanted age, arguments for the existence of God are at least as strong as they’ve ever been. In a conversation that has been edited for clarity and length, we spoke about the relationship between science and faith, the future of secular humanism, and why Donald Trump is a man of destiny (although not necessarily in a good way).”
