The Four Horsemen: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris & Christopher Hitchens. [video]

This is a few years old and pretty long but still rather interesting.



Together without restraint , the four giants of Atheism and Freethought talk about science, God, religion etc.

Recorded on September 30, 2007, all four authors have recently received a lot of media attention for their writings against religion - some positive and some negative. In this conversation they tell stories about the public reaction to his books, the unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face the world today, and propose new strategies for the future. The affinity between them is obvious, but it is curious to note, too, the different views and positions on the issues discussed. Dawkins and his militant anti-theism; Hitchens and his biting political analysis, Harris and his proposal of an atheistic spirituality and Dennett with his conciliatory temperament.

The video is relatively long, almost two hours. But if the reader wants to know the icons of modern atheism in addition to his works, watching it is indispensable.
